Launching tomorrow on Nintendo Switch is Shadows 2: Perfidia, a survival horror game which offers a "unique mental health system".
Inspired by games like Penumbra and Layers of Fear, Shadows 2: Perfidia has players exploring a darkened office complex to uncover the truth behind a series of horrifying events. You'll play as one of two characters with their own individual storylines, monster encounters, and gameplay challenges, and will need to escape from a setting which is said to "scarier, harder, and more twisted" as you go on.
Keeping things realistic, you'll have to keep an eye on your character's mental wellbeing as you play. If you witness too many horrors, your mind will begin to unravel, and it's up to you to fight against the issue by shutting your eyes for a quick break or guzzling an energy drink in an attempt to stay alert. We've got a few screenshots for you below.
As noted above, the game releases tomorrow and will be available for $7.99 / £7.19. It's had 'very positive' user reviews on Steam since it launched on the platform back in 2017.

The image of the face in the first screen shot is a painting called Gallowgate Lard by Ken Currie. It's in Aberdeen art gallery. It's hugely disturbing when seen in the flesh so to speak. I can barely look at it! Good image for a psychological horror game - I'm intrigued!
Hardly unique then if it uses a simlar system to Penumbra / Amnesia. Looks a a little drab, but the postitive feedback on Steam makes me wonder if this is worth a look after all.
Sounds like Eternal Darkness, which I’d love to have return...
Yeah gonna have to mimic the above sentiment. This doesn't look too groundbreaking. Still, sounds interesting enough! I'll add this to the list of games to watch out for.
That reminds me, Layers of Fear is currently on sale in the eshop for $4 if anyone is interested.
@brandonbwii good game... Their next game with Rutger haur is also on sale for 10 USD
Hang on, I have to pick my laptop up off the floor after shoving it across the room at the end of that video
This was on steam sales for less than a pound. The game starts with you waiting for a coffee machine to make you coffee for about a minute. Then, shortly after you get a text asking you to hide in "your room", lock the door and turn out the lights. These instructions are poorly translated: your room turns out to be an office. There is no way to lock the door as it is poorly rendered with a jpeg for a door handle and no lock. They really just wanted you to close the door. Anyway, you find yourself repeatedly losing because the instructions are poor. Each time you are forced to restart you have to make the coffee, again and again, which gets tired fast. Layers of fear may be a better option.
