While it might not have the most PC of names, don't let first impressions fool you. Suicide Guy is one of the silliest and most creative first-person puzzles games we've played in a long while and it's finally ready to bring its dream-like quality to Nintendo Switch on 10th May.
Publisher Chubby Pixel made the announcement via the medium of Twitter, with a short video showing off the game running in handheld mode. In it, you'll help a bearded chap wake up from a deep sleep by navigating all manner of unusual puzzles and platforming sections. With collectibles to find, open levels to explore and even the occasional vehicle to drive, it's basically a Saturday morning TV version of Inception.
Check out the short video above and let us know what you think of it. Will you be taking on the dream land puzzles of Suicide Guy? Let us know below...

It looks fun but why is it called that? Lol.
@AG_Awesome Perhaps its one of those misleading titles that throws you off the game when you first play it. Then you spend hours on the game's journey and by the end, you get an amazing ending that makes you realize the true purpose of the games name and it gives you a deep connection through it and the journey you went on. Making you never to look at the game the same way again.
@patbacknitro18 that would be a pretty cool experience.
@patbacknitro18 Spoiler Alert Everyone Dies
I don't care about being PC. But suicide is a serious issue and I really don't feel comfortable talking lightly about it. Where do we draw the line? Torture Twin? Raving Rapist? It is a bit of a slippery slope fallacy I admit, but if you are going to deal with a serious issue, deal with it seriously please.
I mean, I get there are countless games with murder and death and lots of humor piled on but... I don't know, I just don't feel comfortable with this one.
Fire the guy that came up with that name
Ooh! It has ambient occlusion in portable mode!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's a first for a Switch game.

Oh I hear you. I always felt a little put off by the lack of a cohesive tone in a game like Fat Princess, where they both joke about obesity and feature a lot of blood splatter in a cute cartoon setting.
@Heavyarms55 The lines we draw are not between different subjects, but between different ways of dealing with them. That said, check out what the premises of this game are.
@Heavyarms55 I really don't mind it. It's like suicide squad, it's just a name, they arent making fun of people with suicidal thoughts or actions. And suicide has different meanings as well, like killing one's own interest. And usually the line is drawn with one's self.
@Pod I never saw fat princess as making fun of obesity.... You got the princess fat so that it was harder for her to be saved, more people would need to help her.... But it wasn't making fun of obesity. I am on the bigger side, and I wasn't offended at these things.
Remember "being offended is a taking action, not given"
@Heavyarms55
I did stand up about mental health issues, that's much more effective than lectures. Especially when it is an issue where people choose to remain ignorant.
Was that tag line a Sharkboy and Lavagirl reference?
@Ttimer5
Oh, I didn't mean to say that I was offended by them having fat jokes in the game. Just that the elements were sort of disparate, with no clear lines for what was serious and what was fun.
what a tasteless titel for a videogame!!
