Launching on Nintendo Switch early next year is Never Again, a first-person horror that first appeared on Steam back in May.
The game combines its spooky horror with puzzle-solving and exploration; you'll be uncovering the story of a little girl suffering from asthma, which isn't helped by the fact that things appear to go terribly wrong in a suffocating nightmare. The Switch's eShop listing for the game tells us more:
The main character - Sasha Anders, a thirteen year old girl who awakens from a nightmare. The world seems to be upside down for her. Everything becomes so strange. The house is imbued with loneliness and longing and it seems strange to our character considering it was always dominated by love and harmony. Everywhere except for the heroine's room, suspiciously darkens, without even a single sound. Her parents and younger brother have gone missing. The girl is smart and sensible beyond her years, but each person has their own fears, and sometimes they cannot cope. This is especially troubling Sasha, due to the slightest fear, she feels suffocated.
The listing ends with, "The saddest part of this mystical tale, is that it is not a tale at all". Chilling.
It'll arrive on Switch on 30th January for $13.99 if you're interested. At the time of writing, user reviews on Steam are 'very positive'.

Stuff like this makes me wish some horror classics would come to Switch tbh. The Silent Hill games are a pipe dream but would suit Switch well and I’d buy the original Yume Nikki in a heartbeat.
Can we get some devs to take survival horror seriously instead of copying PT for the 100th time? Re7 and Re2 remake were a huge success - can wannabe devs start making games without the no weapons omg hide mechanics now?
Wow. What a terribly written description of a game. Yikes.
Hmmm... so this game is only available in NA? That make sense cause NA also refer to Never Again.
Honestly the game's description is really "horror generic", but I think that's unavoidable.
Saw a let's play and the whole point of the game's story is to slowly noticing the context and what's really going on.
I can't say if this game deals properly with the subject it wants to tackle, but I do appreciate how the developer tried to keep the description simple and the trailer confusing to avoid spoilers.
Early access steam on this was very positive, so hopefully it’s been updated properly since then?
“Never Again” is also the title of a 2001 romantic comedy film. Please don’t get the two confused!
It seems a horror game requires at least one creepy doll.
If I wasn’t a complete wuss I would play this
