NEScape incoming for Switch following previous NES appearance

8 Bit Legit is bringing NEScape to Switch, according to an eShop listing. It will be available in just a few days, as it’s already scheduled for January 13, 2023.

NEScape was actually funded previously on Kickstarter. In 2020, nearly $40,000 was raised to help bring it to life. The game was made playable on the NES itself, but now it’ll be offered on Nintendo’s current console.

As for the actual game, NEScape “combines the look and feel of an authentic 8-Bit Legit retro game with the modern day element of escape rooms.” We have a bit of additional information below.

It’s you against the clock in an intense race to escape the room before time runs out! Do you have the mental fortitude to assemble the clues and connect the dots so that you might overcome the challenges and see what lies on the other side of the door? Being able to track your success by seeing the room change over time adds a unique experience to escape room games. Will you escape in NEScape?

Key Features
