Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story coming to Switch

Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is the latest Kickstarter success story. A campaign for the game recently reached its initial $10,000 target, and has also now achieved a Switch stretch goal.

Developed by Suzaku and published by Top Hat Games, Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is 2.5D adventure game inspired by Clock Tower and Fatal Frame. It intends to act as a “return the horror genre to its roots; celebrating the slow, fearful creep of dread instead of relying on over the top action and jump scares.”

Here’s some additional information and a trailer:

In 2083 Neo Hong Kong, a young woman named Mei Lin Mak is dragged into a maelstrom of supernatural horror. As she peers deeper into the century old mystery, Mei will be forced to question her perception of reality and her trust of her cybernetic eyes. Under the neon lights of a cyperpunk dystopia, the ruins of the ‘Chong Sing Apartments’ hides a bloody mystery illuminated by both the traditions of Chinese folklore and the innovations of the industrial future. If there is any hope of escaping this nightmare, Mei-Lin must explore this complex, piecing together the stories of 14 lost souls, and discover the truth of her own family curse.

Sense – 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is a 2.5D game inspired by Clock Tower and Fatal Frame. With careful attention to pacing, atmosphere and storytelling, Sense hopes to return the horror genre to its roots; celebrating the slow, fearful creep of dread instead of relying on over the top action and jump scares. The ghosts – as glitches on our reality – act as spiritual and paranormal threats, not monsters to be killed. The horror of our story comes from atmosphere and storytelling, not loud sound and artificial effects.

Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is planned for release in 2019. Access the official Kickstarter page here.
