Horror could be the genre to watch on Nintendo Switch in 2018. Not only have we Layers Of Fear: Legacy on the horizon - check out our interview with the developers for more info - and the first two Outlast games, but now we've got the potential to add some more psychological fearscapes to the mix in the form of The Room series and the Amnesia games.
Both of the respective developers behind each franchise are considering bringing one or more of their games to the handheld console, if a set of tweets in response to fan questions are to be believed. Amnesia and SOMA developer Frictional Games says it, "can't make any solid promises right now," but that it promises, "to keep everyone on Twitter updated with further developments." The Room developer Fireproof Games says it's, "definitely something we're considering!" So nothing set in stone, but considering the momentum Switch continues to build, it's hardly a hollow hope.
What do you guys think? Would The Room and the Amnesia games make a good fit on Switch? Let us know in the comments section below...

Amenisa was soooo good. Probably won't double dip though.
I loved The Room 1 & 2. Haven't played 3 yet just because of the potential of it coming to the Switch.
@Kalmaro I can’t remember if I played it
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a modern classic of horror gaming. Hope to see it make the Switch!
I have heard great things about these games and would love to have them on the Switch, the only problem is I am a big chicken so I don't know if I would play them, I did enjoy Layers of Fear so maybe I could tough it out!
@Mr_Pepperami ...Oh whoops, I forgot to laugh
@Kalmaro hahaha laugh at what? Who are you? Did I comment etc
Man those would be some awesome additions. Fingers crossed.
Part of me gets a bit dissapointed when I hear about mobile games I have played coming to the switch console, Idk why but it cheapens the switch for me.
The only gripe I have about the switch is it’s lack of power compared to what it could have been, but I guess that will come in the next generation.
The eshop has so many games on there that I personally feel should not have been put on the switch but I guess they want to fill the library with as much as possible.
It’s time now we do start getting some bigger games now as we have many indie/mobile type games already.
And please, Soma too!
YOUR TEARING ME APART NLIFE!
OH HAI MARK.
I DID NOT HIT HER, IT'S BS I DID NOT HIT HER I DID NAHT
@Dpishere YOU'RE JUST A BIG CHICKEN, CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP (references are fun)
The Room: Old Sins (4th game) just came out for iOS and I didn't immediately buy it the very second I saw it was for sale, for just this reason. I'll happily pay money for a collection of all 4 games on Switch!
@GamePerson19 ANYWAY how's your NLIFE?
On topic: I'd love some more (good) horror games on switch.
Can’t we just get confirmation already and not just teases of greatness? You’re tearing me apart indies!
Already got them on PC, pass
The Room games in the iPad are the only games I’ve genuenly enjoyed using a touch screen.
I’d double dip if:
If they bUndoes the games together
Charge a sensible price
The HD rumble would really add a nice (coug) touch
Some fun boxes: a mushroom kingdom or Luigi box would be fun....
YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!
Wait...wrong room.
Considering I own Amnesia and the DLC on Steam and PS4 I would pass on the Switch version. Would be great for it to come to the system though because it is seriously one of the scariest games I've ever played.
The Room on the other hand I have never played but heard great things about so I would definitely pick it up on the Switch.
The Room...based on the best movie every made?
