Anyone has an idea why only PC and Nintendo Switch are listed as platforms...? What about Playstation, Xbox, Mac etc?

Its a timed release on Switch so it's temporarily exclusive, but the other consoles will almost certainly follow.

Presumably they prioritized the platforms that would be the primary market. And "PC"/"steam" includes Mac here.

  In the comments, Ron said that the game was developed on Mac and that Windows is the “port”, so it would definitely be available on Mac.

    They really ought to add a little Apple icon to that, because most Mac gamers will assume PC doesn't include them.

      Agreed. I wish everyone would just standardise on "Mac" and "Windows" rather than the frustratingly ambiguous "PC" (which half the time means both and the other half means just Windows...)

        PC is the hardware, not the OS run

        I think we're in agreement. If it was software only available on Linux, you wouldn't label it "PC" would you?

        It's just that traditionally some games were never released for the PC LOOKING AT YOU MICROSOFT; HALO. When it states PC, it's just very clear that it is intended to be played with a keyboard and mouse as input devices. Personally I would never be interested in a console only title for the controls handicap I'd using a controller. Controls are for platformers only.

        People play Cities Skylines and Stellaris on console and I just cannot fathom how you do it, I'm addicted to that mouse and keyboard for those types of games.

It's a point-and-click adventure game. The PC has a mouse. (A Mac version is already announced.) The Switch has a touchscreen. Other consoles don't have any of those.
