Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut is heading to Switch next month, Digerati and Blue Wizard Digital have announced. A specific date in March has yet to be determined.
Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut is a puzzle game in which you play as Skullface, “a psychotic slasher hell-bent on revenge.” Slayaway Camp is violent, but a PG Mode is included that ditches the blood and gore. The game features the voice-over talents of Mark Meer (Mass Effect’s Commander Shepard) and Derek Mears (Jason Voorhees in the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th). Also, touchscreen controls will be supported on Switch during handheld play.
