Pixel art graphic adventure game Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus announced for Nintendo Switch

Today, Blowfish Studios and Indiesruption revealed Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus for Nintendo Switch and other platforms. The title is scheduled to launch in 2025.

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is a macabre pixel-art graphic adventure game. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness launched in 2023 on Nintendo Switch.

Here’s an overview of the new project:

Josef Petrescu, the brother of Vlad Petrescu from Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, returns to confront his darkest fears. Curse of Asmodeus follows Josef and his twisted attachment to the strange spectacle as he struggles to uncover dark secrets and undo the horrifying curse plaguing the show and its cast.

Uncover the horrors of the asylum as Josef races to decipher clues and set his friends free from the tormenting clutches of the sinister demon Asmodeus. Employ a keen eye, a sharp wit, and steady nerves to solve tricky puzzles and avoid the fatal consequences of failure.

Witness the world of Vlad Circus expand in unexpected ways with multiple timelines, each with their own distinct locations. Connect new clues and make crucial revelations that pull back the curtain on Josef’s past. Confront the demons of his regretful past actions and complex trauma to expel Asmodeus and stop the curse.

Speaking about the new game, lead designer Diego Cánepa noted: “Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus drags you into a sordid world of mirrors and shadows where the infamous demon lurks. Brave souls who dare to take on this macabre adventure can expect sheer terror while solving brain-bending puzzles and twisting narratives, each with their own dark secrets and shocking revelations.”
