Back in 1995 heading to Switch

With a feeling of being ripped straight out of the 90’s, publisher Ratalaika Games has confirmed that the New Nintendo 3DS indie title Back in 1995 is now also in development for the Nintendo Switch.

Developed by the small Japanese studio Throw the Warped code out, the mystery thriller title is inspired by the classic feel of games on the PlayStation or Sega Saturn. Additional details, as well as a reveal trailer, can be viewed below.

A throwback to the survival horror and mystery games of the original PlayStation, Back in 1995 faithfully re-creates everything from this all-but-forgotten era of games.

Be transported to a world both concrete and indistinct, where you must uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of your daughter, the catastrophe that shook the city, and why you’ve decided to finally return.

Back in 1995 was created as a labour of love by indie developer TakaakiIchijo as a means to replicate the unique feeling he had from his first gaming experiences: the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.

Features:

Get lost in the nostalgic world of retro 3D graphics, including low res models, texture warping, CRT emulation, and fixed CCTV style camera angles.

Relive the mystery game genre with an old-school user interface and tank controls.

Explore a sparse cityscape in the year 1995, littered with clues about the past.

Interact with a cast of damaged characters whose intentions you can never truly know.

Uncover the mystery of yourself, your daughter, and what happened to the city.

2-3 hours of gameplay.
