The Tartarus Key out on Switch this month, new trailer
The Tartarus Key has received a final release date on Switch. The PS1-style mystery horror game will launch on May 31, 2023, publisher Armor Games Studios and developer Vertical Reach confirmed today.
The Tartarus Key was first announced for Switch in 2021. Vertical Reach ended up needing extra time during development, so rather than launching last year as originally planned, it’ll now be available in a few weeks.
Here’s an official overview with more details:
The last thing Alex remembers is being alone in her apartment. Suddenly, she’s awoken in a dark and deadly mansion, with a stranger’s voice crackling through a walkie-talkie and cameras following her every move. When Alex realizes she’s not the only one caught up in this nightmare, she sets off to discover who – or what – is lurking in the shadows…
The Tartarus Key is a first-person narrative thriller that has you seeking to escape a mysterious mansion full of dark secrets, terrible traps, perilous puzzles, and many a twist and turn. As Alex, explore every dreadful corridor, escape complex rooms using brains over brawn, meet fellow captives relying on you to survive, and unlock the mansion’s many lethal riddles.
