Launching next week on Nintendo Switch is Outbreak: Endless Nightmares, a new co-op survival horror from Dead Drop Studios.
Set right after the events of Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles, Endless Nightmares kicks things off with players trapped inside the remains of Arzt Memorial Hospital – a hub where you can organise your inventory and storage cache, and level up your character. Just like before, you'll head out from this safe spot to explore, gather supplies, find clues, and fight your way through hordes of the undead in a "true horror" roguelite experience.

"Outbreak: Endless Nightmares delivers extreme replayability by offering multiple character options – each with their own abilities, upgrade paths, and more. Explore, scavenge for supplies, uncover clues, and fight your way through the anomalies – each consisting of semi-procedurally generated instances where both the environment and the undead are out to kill you!
"In true roguelike fashion, things get more difficult each time you enter an anomaly. You'll need to think carefully about which weapons, healing items, and other supplies you'll bring along for the journey: If you're lucky, you may find storage caches that give you access to your expanded inventory – and offer an opportunity to restock. But it's up to you to scour the environment for supplies."
The game is set to receive free post-launch DLC throughout its first year, and will be available for $19.99 / £17.99 when it launches on 19th May.

Looks intriguing but I'll hold for reviews...
Son: Mom can i get Resident Evil for switch
Mom: No we have Resident Evil at home.
At Home: Outbreak Endless Nightmares
I wonder if it went down like this in a developer meeting:
Lead Game Designer: "What style should it be in? Old school Resident Evil 1? Resident Evil 4? Or the bread & butter first person shooter style?"
Rest of the team: "All of them".
I have to give credit for trying this unique approach. Unfortunately I won't be able to see for myself if it works cause I'm just a complete coward to anything scary in games
If reviews are good I might bite.
I probably won’t get this. I have Resident Evil on my switch.
Pass on this game for me
Yeah start off with Moonlight Sonata, to REALLY give it that RE feel. At least the logo loojs eerily similar too. Lol. But it looks cool.
@Daniel36 Moonlight Sonata is a great way to instantly grab my attention. Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu for example is another, which still makes me think back of Clock Tower 3 (but obviously isn't used here). And different camera options is yet another, add slow motion or freeze-time death-camera... Let's say they have my attention.
@Ganner I was about to say, this game looks like it was made without a creative director, or at least one without a clear vision.
It's a shame too, because what they are trying to do has a lot of potential.
