Next year, we'll be getting our hands on a brand new horror game on Switch in the form of Mundaun, a hand-drawn effort from Swiss programmer and illustrator Michel Ziegler.
We first spoke about the game back in July when an announcement trailer gave us our first taste of what to expect, along with the following description:
After learning of his grandfather's mysterious death in a fire, the protagonist travels to Mundaun for the first time since childhood. He will soon discover that something old and diabolical is haunting the remaining inhabitants. The quest to find out the meaning behind these sinister events takes players on an odyssey up Mundaun mountain, across steep meadows to stony fields and snow-covered peaks.
Now, though, we've been treated to a batch of lovely new screenshots, all of which show off the game's hand-pencilled scenery. The art style gives off an immediately eerie vibe, yet something about it makes us want to jump in and explore. Check these out:
Mundaun is scheduled to launch on Switch in Q1 2021, so make sure to keep an eye out for it on the eShop if you're intrigued. It's said to be filled with secrets to discover, hostile encounters, vehicles to drive, and hand-crafted puzzles.

Looks pretty interesting.
I tend to find hand-drawn projects very endearing, even if it is in the horror genre.
Horror is not the first category of games I look for, but the drawings look quite interesting. I’ll be considering it just for that once it’s released.
The art style is stunning and I love a good Horror game so will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

@Beaucine Dude. Always baffles me to find comments like this on websites like this. Kudos.

Haha! I was wondering if anyone would catch the reference. Of course it was someone with a Band of Outsiders avatar. Film and videogames are my two jams, so I'm into a lot of both.
I saw these black & white screenshots and it reminded me of the old Sadness game that it would have been developed for Wii but they cancelled it.

Beautiful. Some of these (with the cabins) remind me of that Severnaya level in Goldeneye.
