Digerati and Blue Wizard Digital have announced that Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut will be arriving on Nintendo Switch next month, and with a shiny new trailer to boot.
Slayaway Camp is a killer puzzle game where you control Skullface, a psychotic slasher hell-bent on revenge. Inspired by '80s horror movies, the game sees you throwing your murder-loving protagonist around hundreds of isometric puzzle levels to squash, flay, and decapitate your helpless victims.
As well as boasting a generous amount of mind-twisting puzzles, the Switch version of the game also features touchscreen controls if you choose to play in handheld mode. There is also a 'PG' mode for those who don't want to see endless gory blood splattered all over their screen. You can check out the full feature list below.
Features
• Includes the base game and the following additional content: Deluxe Edition, My Gory Valentine, HellCamp, Monthly Murderers Series 1 & 2, Supernatural Forces, and Santa’s Slay
• 300+ Fiendish puzzle levels to massacre your way through
• 60+ Killers to cause comical carnage with, including deranged wackos such as Mutant Hillbilly, Kevin, and the killer inter-dimensional clown: THAT
• 90+ Gorepacks with delightfully OTT kill scenes to shock and entertain
• Not a fan of comic ultraviolence? No problem! Enjoy the sanitised safety of PG Mode for a bloodless and gore-free good time
• Intense finger action! Play using touchscreen controls in handheld mode
• Starring Mark Meer (Cdr. Shepard from Mass Effect) as Skullface and Derek Mears (Jason from Friday the 13th) as Jessica
• Genuine hair-metal soundtrack by legendary Canadian group GNÜ TRUNTION
• Created by Jason Kapalka (Peggle, Bejewelled), Nate Schmold & Jessi Ross (Cosmochoria) and Ido Yehieli (Cardinal Quest)
• Slayaway Camp was recently selected as an overall winner at the annual Google Play Indie Games Festival
This is the debut game from Blue Wizard Digital, an indie studio formed by PopCap co-founder Jason Kapalka and, between them, the team has previously worked on extremely well-established titles such as Bejeweled and Peggle. The exact release date for this title is 'still-to-be confirmed' but we're looking forward to seeing it in the flesh next month.
Can you see yourself sinking your teeth into this one? Let us know your thoughts below.

Hope there's a demo, then might give it a go
@Bunkerneath Just try the mobile version. Can't remember if it has a price though.
Edit: Nevermind. It costs money.
Anyway, I never found the game that amusing myself. I got it in mobile in a mobile humble bundle and tried it out. Wasn't to my liking.
I told my brother that I don't play mobile games because they suck. He then relied "Why do you have a switch then". All I could do is laugh because it's true. Mobiles and ports still happy that I can take Bayonetta on the go.
Hmmm. I see the dev created peggle, which is one of my fav games ever (let’s get peggle 2 on the switch please). Plus this “...and the killer inter-dimensional clown: THAT” had me in stitches. I’ll give this game a look
@N8tiveT3ch You play the Switch because basically all games are hybrid. Mobile is just an option :U.
That and mobile games generally have to use emulated buttons, and touch screen buttons stink.
@Kalmaro I know why I play the switch and technically they are mobile versions because you can take them anywhere. The games that I would take shots at are games that start on Cell Phones and are ported over. Those are the mobile games I hate having on the store.
A big “no thanks” from me. Gimme Peggle (preferably 2) or Bejeweled. I’d buy either day 1.
@N8tiveT3ch Some games that start their life on mobile and are later ported to console can turn out to be really good and feel like they've finally found their true home,providing the developer optimises their game for consoles that is. Riptide GP Renegade is one notable example. That feels like a proper console game and if not for the little bit of grinding needed to work your way through the game, you'd never know it was originally a mobile game. Highly recommended game btw, plays like a lost GameCube classic.
Watched either Markiplier or Jacksepticeye play this. Not gonna go out of my way to pick this one up, maybe in a sale.
@OorWullie Sure to each their own. I've played that game but it was a bit of a yawn. Still hate the mobile games and I will always hate them. Again if people want them give to them. I just don't like the eshop becoming a mobile graveyard because games couldn't penetrate a saturated play and apple store.
This just makes me want a Peggle Collection on Switch even more.... PLEASE!!!!!!
@N8tiveT3ch My bad, I didn't mean you. Just a person in general. I know people that get switch games just to play on mobile though. I do both really.
I do think that calling Switch games mobile games is too simple.
Fun game that I still have on my phone. Could be wrong, but I don't think having it on Switch will truly elevate the gameplay experience. Games like Arena of Valor definitely. This not so much.
Is anybody else getting tired of top-down view indie games with tiny characters? There are so many games I just pass by on the Switch now because of this overly used cringy aesthetic. It's seems 8 out of every 10 games released are like this now. It's an immediate turn off at this point.
That tagline hasn't attracted Anti-Matter yet? Just imagine gifting this game to him...
I liked it on Steam. Might grab in a sale to have all the dlc
