The Tartarus Key getting physical release on Switch

Super Rare Games is producing a physical version of The Tartarus Key for Switch, the company announced today in partnership with Armor Games and Vertical Reach.

4,000 copies will be made in total. Each unit includes the game on a physical cartridge, a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.

The Tartarus Key first appeared on Switch as a digital title this past May. Read more about it below.

The last thing Alex Young remembers is being at home alone in her apartment… so why has she suddenly woken up in this strange mansion? All the doors are locked by bizarre puzzles and traps, there are cameras following her every move, and she keeps thinking she sees… things… out of the corner of her eye. If she wants to escape alive, along with the other captives she discovers, she’ll need to use her wits in this adventure thriller.

Inspired by the look and feel of classic horror games, The Tartarus Key serves up a mystery filled with twists and turns, and more than a few deadly surprises. Rely on brains over brawn to help Alex survive, but beware – not everyone might make it out alive.

Key Features

• Escape a deadly mansion filled with dangerous traps, and rescue Alex’s fellow captives… or fail, and leave them to a grisly fate
• Uncover three different endings, and dig into the heart of the mansion and the strange secrets it and your captors hold
• Solve puzzles and challenges reminiscent of escape-the-room games in a variety of unsettling and bizarre scenarios
• A tense, atmospheric adventure that relies on puzzles and plot instead of combat or chase sequences

Super Rare Games will open pre-orders for the physical release of The Tartarus Key for Switch on October 12, 2023. You’ll be able to put in a reservation here. Note that Super Rare Games titles ship shortly after release.
