‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong’ Now Available on the Nintendo Switch

Published

on

Nacon’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong hit Steam earlier this year, leaving Switch users to wonder just when they’d be getting their turn. Luckily for them, the wait is over, as the Big Bad Wolf-developed RPG has arrived on the Switch.

Adapted from the fifth edition of Vampire: The Masquerade, Swansong has you play as three vampires – Galeb Bazory, Emem Louis and Leysha – each a member of a different clan in the Camarilla, the secret society that governs most vampires. After a group of mysterious assassins attacked the Boston Camarilla the three are tasked by Hazel Iversen, the new Prince of of the Boston Camarilla, with learning the identity of the attackers as well as the motives underlying the large-scale attack. The orders are simple: infiltrate, investigate and get answers, using their vampiric powers if necessary.

Each of the three vampires you play as feature their own characteristics, as well as Skills and clan-related Disciplines that can be upgraded and used freely. Swansong features a branching storyline, where every choice matters, and gameplay in which every dialogue interaction advances the story. Your decisions will ultimately lead to one of 15 different endings.

In addition to Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Nintendo Switch, Swansong is also currently available for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and the Xbox One.

Endless Mode Available Now in New Update for ‘Life Eater’

Published

Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!

The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.

“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”

For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.

You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
