During the same panel at the 2018 Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Aksys Games revealed the scary 2D side-scrolling adventure, Ghost Parade, would arrive on the Nintendo Switch in 2019.
Developed by the Indonesian-based studio, Lentera, Ghost Parade tells the story of a girl named Suri who is lost in a forest and must find her way back home. Mythical ghosts offer to aid her, provided she helps them stop a bunch of humans who are attempting to destroy the forest. Throughout the journey, you’ll take control of many different ghosts – all with unique abilities. There are also combo skills to master, item crafting and a variety of bosses to take on.
Aksys Games also announced Experience's horror adventure title, Death Mark, is currently being localised for the Switch and is expected to be released soon. This latest iteration is based on the PS Vita release and will include all content plus an additional episode.
In this universe, unknown body markings are killing people, with the belief an individual who came into contact with a ghost gave humanity the curse. The game takes place in a mansion said to protect those who have been marked and you, as the protagonist, have lost your memory.
Let us know if either of these games would be of interest to you in the comments below.

Naaah
Definitely potentially interested!
@Spectra Really? Why? They've done some pretty good stuff in the past, IMHO.
Would be great if we could get some actual horror titles for the Switch...
I'd even settle for Alien Isolation at this point
@MagnaRoader Some good stuff so far, but we need a Fatal Frame.
@kirbygirl omg yes fatal frame yes
Fantastic! I was hoping for a localization of Death Mark on the Vita, but this is even better!
Will also be keeping an eye on Ghost Parade.
Cool.
Should be good. Got a couple Indonesian horror movies and they're somewhat different from the usual Japanese/ Korean fare. They seem to tie in much more with the horror of nature, which the visuals of Ghost Parade also seem to suggest.
Ghosts in a forest... That sounds a bit disturbing to me. Anyway, it’s interesting that it’s being developed by an Indonesian studio. You usually don’t see games from that country.
As days pass people keep realizing what was obvious since the start; the Switch ain't just Wii U/3DS successor it's also the Vita successor.
I'm up for all these amazing games that went to die on PS Vita.
@kirbygirl Was just about to say how much I want a gyro controlled Fatal Frame (Project Zero, over here) on the Switch. One of my favourite series within the horror genre. I imported the fourth game on Wii and patched it, played the technically very impressive 3DS spin-off with a flashlight to avoid having to play in broad daylight for the AR to work, suffered through the actually terrible controls of both the remake of 2 on Wii and the original 5 on Wii U... And I'll do it all again and again.
So yeah, I'm interested, and agree that Aksys did some pretty great games in the past. It's just that, as a publisher, they aren't doing too well, as most games kind of stayed under the radar. Which is sad.
@JJ286 I've heard others make that contention. Can't argue, it's getting a lot of games that would've otherwise gone to the Sony handheld. Switch taking the place of 3 devices is actually as good as it sounds, even if 2 of them didn't sell well.
I already said and I'm going to do it again.
Vanillaware should port Muramasa Rebirth on Switch.
Both sound fun
