A Dark Room returns to the Switch eShop, now without the code editor

A Dark Room launched on Switch earlier this year, but not without some controversy. Developer Amir Rajan left an Easter egg in the game that allowed players to access a hidden code editor. Rajan’s intent was innocuous, but Nintendo was forced to pull the game from the eShop and publisher Circle Entertainment was upset about the whole situation.

Months later, A Dark Room is available on the eShop once again. The code editor is gone, though the experience appears to be otherwise in tact.

A Dark Room pulled from the Switch eShop due to hidden code editor

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

A Dark Room made it to the Switch eShop earlier this month. It didn’t stay up long, as it has since been pulled from the store.

We’ve seen some games leave the eShop only to return later, often due to ratings-related issues. In the case of A Dark Room though, it’s unclear if the game will ever become available again. That’s because its creator included an “Easter egg” that allows players to create basic apps, which publisher Circle Entertainment wasn’t happy about.
