While we've known that first-person horror experience Infernium was due to arrive in April ever since the game was announced for Switch earlier in the month, but now we've got the official release dates straight from indie developer Carlos Coronado. The game will be hitting the North American eShop next week on 5th April, with a European/UK release set for 12th April.
According to Coronado, the game's lack of traditional combat is offset by enemies that lurk in light as well as shadows, with the need to evade and outwit a constant requirement for those willing to enter its intriguing labyrinth. Infernium will set you back €22.95 in Europe and $24.95 in North America when it launches next month.
Let us know what you make of Infernium, and whether this more unusual psychological horror title will be making its way onto your handheld house of horrors...

This is the horror game with bed sheets and coat hangers. Forgot about this. His last game received some good reviews so I'll wait and see but the Pegi 12 rating means it'll likely provide more laughs than scares. At least it's got cost hangers, terrifying!
Not at that price. He's out of his mind. Hellblade - an "AA" indie horror/action game on Ps4 - was $19.99 at launch, from a studio of say.. 40 people?
This cat expects 25 bucks for a one-man developed first person sorceror shooty thing? Yeah. Ok. That skeleton (I guess?) in the trailer looks like a stick figure.
This looks so lame, dunno why
of*
@onex yohhh yohhhh chill
I am the gamedev. I understand you think the enemies look like beach towels. I wanted to make something about it. That's why it has beach towel cosplays merch available now! https://society6.com/carlosgamedev/s?q=random
About the $$, the game lasts about 14h average, has a NG+ with evolved and new enemy placements, a photomode and a lot of replay value (the game is non linear).
I am willing to give a key to you for free. Then come back after 2h of gameplay and tell in this forum in the Flying Towels and the game is scary or not
Also, I dunno why in the article is not featured the teaser trailer. Let me show you the new trailer!

Game looks awesome to me and sounds like a good deal for that length! Plus ng+? Shoot. Sign me up.
I like the looks of it but I’ll need some reviews before jumpin on board.
@onex they look less like stick figures and more other worldly. Take a second look, there's a lot more details than just simple stick figures
@CarlosCoronado Does it have gyro aim? Good luck with your game
@GrailUK Hi Grail, and thanks!
Tbh I didn't know what gyro aim was before reading your comment, so no, it doesn't have it. But now that you have said it I'll try to implement in in a future patch.
On the other hand, the game doesn't require precision aiming at all, unless you are using the teleport to speedrun the game or reach certain secret secret areas
@AG_Awesome Probably best decision ever before buying any game
@CarlosCoronado It’s a main contributor to how I pick my games. Ill be keeping a close eye on your game. First person horror games are one of my fav genres and portable ones are the best!
@CarlosCoronado May I have a key? I love all sorts of video games and would give it a fair assessment. If it's good I'll buy it and recommend it to people.
Is this also on steam?
Thanks.
@onex You sound rather entitled with that comment. Let's wait until reviews come out and THEN we can judge it properly. A one-man game doesn't automatically mean it's inferior. This trailer only showed .1% of the game, after all.
The Switch has been getting quite a few horror games recently, hasn't it?
I honestly am unsure what this game is about
@CarlosCoronado can I get a free game code and give it a try?
I’m curious.
@onex Hellblade was 30 at launch. At least get your facts right.
Makes me think of a horror version of Myst. I am still trying to see the Pac-Man comparison.
Plenty of good games have been made by a single person developer — Axiom Verge (which is my fave metroidvania), Stardew Valley, etc... willing to look at this a little later and see what People think about it
It definitely looks unusual for a horror game. It looks bright and colorful and the ghosts look silly... But used the right way it can make the game unnerving. Also PEGI 12 means that's probably something to scare kids with, which is always hilarious
@CarlosCoronado Holy cow, you made this yourself?? Looks really nice, I might pick it up
@CarlosCoronado Holy cow, you made this yourself?? Looks really nice, I might pick it up
@CarlosCoronado Holy cow, you made this yourself?? Looks really nice, I might pick it up
@onex I have the key ready. Mail me to [email protected]
Looks interesting. Not too scary suits me but a spooky Atmos I can handle. Good luck with it!
@CarlosCoronado Alright, I'll gladly eat my words if proven differently.
@onex it's not about me winning over you. I just want you to enjoy the game because I belive in it and the work and hours I've put into it during the last 18 months
@CarlosCoronado Not at all what I meant, just that I'm not above retracting a stance of mine should it be merited. I'll be sure to report back my impressions.
@CarlosCoronado I love your responses! Very classy and way to have a sense of humor. I just watched the "Redonkulous" review of your game and plan to buy it soon. Looks great!
