Forever Entertainment has revealed that its survival horror game Phantaruk is headed to the Nintendo Switch.
The game combines its survival horror with adventure and stealth mechanics, leaving players to fight for their lives as they face the dangers of the Purity-02 spaceship and the toxins continually destroying them from the inside. Once a research vessel, this spaceship has turned into a deadly, deserted trap, and you'll need to investigate the mysteries of the ship to save your life. With every passing minute, the chances of survival grow weaker.
It's not just the toxins that you need to be concerned about, either; the beast, a creature known from long-forgotten fables and ancient myths, is also roaming the ship, ready to kill you off at a second's notice. It could be prowling around in any shadow and lurking behind any corner so you need to plan your every move carefully.
Check out the lore behind the game from its official PR, as well as a nice collection of screenshots.
For long has the humanity been constrained by limits of the human body. Most have accepted the imperfection of flesh, but some sought for liberation. To pursue the dream of creating a post-human being, to achieve ideas of transhumanism – it’s the driving force behind H+ Corporation. Within its facilities, technology and homo sapiens became one entity. An organism devoid of humanity’s biological weaknesses.
Infected with a parasite emitting deadly toxins, you struggle against havoc being wrought within your body. Alone, confused, and slowly dying.
The game received 'mixed' reviews from users on Steam when it released in 2016, although this Switch edition is said to be "refreshed" and "enriched", hopefully making it a much better experience on Nintendo's system. The game is set to launch on Switch tomorrow for $4.99 / €4.99.
Do you like being scared senseless by a good horror game? Are you likely to pick this up when it arrives on Switch? Let us know below.

It’s got an Alien vibe to it from the description. Gonna wait for a Switch review, but I put it on my wishlist last night at only $5.
What's with the five bucks comments? There's no price tag yet.
could be tempted at that price point but doesn't look too dissimilar to hollow which turned out to be rubbish. I have liked a few of the games that forever has released so far so will wait on the review!
@ThanosReXXX It's listed $4.99 on the US eShop, I saw it last night with my own four eyes!
Might grab this for how cheap it is
@HobbitGamer Aha, well, that sounds pretty decent, then. Weird that NLife doesn't mention this then, when the information is already out there.
See...one look at the cadaver on the table and the game better let me go find the escape pods...
Looks interesting, hopefully it delivers the horror.
I was wondering if that price of €4.99 is a typo and actually costs something more like €14.99. Pretty low price for this kind of game.
Is it playable, more then 2 hours...then day purchase for $5.
The 53 on Metacritic doesn't bode hugely well for this one. Personally, I'm struggling to get over how clunky the name is!
@Nookingtons you mean just like "Hollow"?
Is it a first-person horror game?
If you're gonna release a horror game, why not wait a couple weeks and release it near Halloween? Maybe they know this is shovelware and are hoping to catch people ahead of the rush.
