2D survival horror adventure game Dead of Darkness planned for Switch
Dead of Darkness will be seeing release on Switch, publisher Eastasiasoft announced today in partnership with developer Retrofiction Games. The title will be out later in 2024.
Dead of Darkness is a 2D survival horror adventure game in which players control Miles Windham and Olivia Greene as they head to Velvet Island, the location of a mental hospital that entangles them in a series of dark secrets. Now that Eastasiasoft is on board, the game will be receiving professional voiceovers for 25 spoken roles.
Here’s some additional information about the game:
In 1985 England, private investigator Miles Windham follows a lead on the mysterious death of his daughter to Velvet Island. But once he arrives on the island, he soon realizes that the residents are behaving strangely. In fact, there is a growing hostility towards the investigator that feels as though it’s becoming stronger by the minute. It doesn’t take long for the situation to escalate, and Miles finds himself in a struggle for his own survival.
Dead of Darkness is a 2D survival horror action-adventure presented in a mix of old-school pixel art and HD character illustrations. Velvet Island comes to life in grotesque detail as Miles and newfound ally Olivia search Graham Memorial mental hospital and its surrounding facilities.
