Carlos Coronado has announced that his non-linear first-person survival game Infernium is coming to Switch. Expect it on the eShop “really, really soon”.
Infernium has enemies that you generally can’t kill or damage, meaning you’ll be chased quite a bit. You’ll need to make your way through 17 interconnected non-linear levels in a persistent world. New Game+ and multiple endings should keep the experience fresh. The game is also confirmed to run at 720p and 30 frames per second on Switch.
