Monstrum

Soedesco have announced that Monstrum, a horror game developed by Team Junkfish, is headed to the Nintendo Switch. It will be available at retail and on the Nintendo eShop.

Here’s a trailer, some details, the list of key features, and some screenshots (+boxarts):

Stranded on a derelict cargo ship, you find yourself hunted by one of Monstrum’s terrifying predators as you search for a way out. Death is death. Get killed in Monstrum and you’ll be starting all over again. As each of them has their own strategy, abilities and weaknesses, you have to use your wits to outsmart your pursuer in the ship’s procedurally generated environment. Can you survive Monstrum?

Survive a different environment and monster each time you play
Use whatever you can find to outwit the monsters and escape the ship
Hide, distract and run, but be careful not to fall into the numerous traps
Try to stay alive or you’ll have to start all over again

Monstrum (Switch) does not have a release date yet. The Upcoming Games page has been updated.
