Fear the Spotlight – 2024
Blumhouse is known primarily for horror films. But last year, the studio announced Blumhouse Games, a brand new video game division. And this is its first project — Fear the Spotlight. Developed by Cozy Game Pals, Fear the Spotlight takes inspiration from ’90s horror games, fully embracing the blocky PS1-style visuals.
Is it coming to Switch?: Yep! Looks fantastic, too. This and Crow Country are bringing back a blocky era of horror.
Screenbound – TBC (Switch unconfirmed)
Inspired by FEZ, Wreck-It Ralph, Viewfinder, Super Mario Bros., and Tron — what a selection, hey? — Screenbound is a fascinating adventure game where you have to pay attention to two different screens. There’s the big screen, your TV or monitor, and then there’s the little “Game Boy” screen within the game. What happens on one screen may not happen in the other, but you need to keep an eye on both to make it through the game.
Is it coming to Switch?: Platforms haven’t been confirmed for this one at all. You know we’re hoping to see this on the hybrid console, though.
Zoochosis – 2024 (Switch unconfirmed)
And the winner for the most terrifying game we saw during Day of the Devs is easily Zoochosis. You’re a zookeeper — yay! — and you’re on your first night shift. But there’s a problem: some animals are infected with a disease that turns them into mutants. Suddenly we’re less excited about our jobs…
Is it coming to Switch?: Nope, this is another Steam exclusive, for now.
Tom the Postgirl – Q3 2025 (Switch unconfirmed)
If you have a messed-up sense of humour, Tom the Postgirl was practically tailor-made for you. Hilarious and horrifying, you are a very nosy postgirl who can’t help but spy on the people she’s delivering mail to. The unique art style and silent movie-style narrative cards only add to the strangeness. Just… don’t get so wrapped up in the weird you forget to deliver the mail.
Is it coming to Switch?: It’s exclusive to PC for now, but hopefully the Switch’s successor?
Psychroma – Q3 – Q4 2024
Psycrhoma is an eye-catching pixel art horror game where you have to piece together your memories and understand how to break the current time loop you’re stuck in. The blend of cyberpunk aesthetics and unsettling visuals work in tandem to create a story all about identity, memory, and fear.
Is it coming to Switch?: Yes it is!
A Little to the Left: Seeing Stars DLC – 25th June 2024
The cute, cosy puzzle game A Little to the Left is getting its second piece of DLC in just a few weeks. We got our first look at Seeing Stars — which focuses on multiple solutions, more stars, and many more cats. There are 38 new levels and 100 stars to collect, so if you loved the base game, you should definitely grab this one!
Is it coming to Switch?: Yep — the base game is already out on Switch, after all.
Hello Again – 2025 (Switch unconfirmed)
Hello again to… Hello Again! Teased in 203, Hello Again is a time loop game where you crash on an island filled with ancient ruins. To break the loop, you need to find out about the history of the island and these ruins. It’s apparently the coziest time loop you’ll ever play, and with inspirations such as Outer Wilds, Majora’s Mask, and Animal Crossing… we believe it!
Is it coming to Switch?: Not for now; this is PC-only.
While Waiting – 2025 (Switch unconfirmed)
Optillusion has left the confines of the box for… basically everywhere. While Waiting takes a simple premise — waiting — and turns it into a puzzle game. This is a game all about waiting and being patient, but you can be a menace if you really want.
Is it coming to Switch?: Nope, PC and mobile. This one could eventually make its way over, though…
Afterlove EP – Q3 2024
After Coffee Talk and its sequel, Pikselnesia’s next project is a heartfelt, heartbreaking story of love, loss, and music. Afterlove EP follows a musician living in Jakarta who hears the voice of his girlfriend after her death. This comes from creator Mohammad Fahmi — who sadly passed away in 2022 — and his love of Jakarta and music, and the team are excited to share the game with the world.
Is it coming to Switch?: Yep, you’ll be able to get Afterlove EP on Switch on day one.
Phoenix Springs – 16th September 2024 (Switch unconfirmed)
Phoenix Springs oozes class and style. A self-styled “modern point-and-click” that uses bright colours and striking visuals, Phoenix Springs embraces modern conveniences while being inspired by point-and-click classics. As reporter Iris Dormer, you need to investigate the enigmatic community that lives in Phoenix Springs, and find out what connects Iris to them.
Is it coming to Switch?: Nope, this one’s a PC exclusive for now.
Tides of Tomorrow – “Coming Soon” (Switch unconfirmed)
Closing out the show is a big one — DigixArt’s next new game, Tides of Tomorrow, an ambitious multiplayer narrative adventure taking place in a world overcome by the “Great Flood”. People are turning into plastic, and you have to try and survive in this ever-changing world with your friends — who are real people in the real world.
Is it coming to Switch?: No, it’s only confirmed for PC, but DigixArt’s Road 96 is on Switch. Maybe.
