Publisher and developer Pichon Games has announced that the gorgeous but gory horror adventure The Bunny Graveyard will be making the jump (heheh) over to Switch at some point in 2024.
Originally released on Steam last September, the game sees you playing as a mouse cursor on a computer (yes, really) and setting out to help a bunny discover the truth behind its existence. Of course, this is a horror adventure, so we can expect a fair number of jumps and scares along the way — many of which can be seen in the above Steam launch trailer.
Pichon Games notes that this one contains "violent scenes with disturbing imagery and jumpscares" as well as flashing images, so if that doesn't sound up your street, maybe look elsewhere for cute rabbit-based fun.
The game has racked up a good number of 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviews on the PC platform since launch and with pixel art visuals that the devs state are inspired by the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, you can consider our interests piqued — it really does look rather pretty, huh?
For a little more information on what The Bunny Graveyard is all about, check out the following from its Steam page:
STORY
Begin your journey as... a cursor? Your job is to find Skye, the bunny! But there seems to be some kind of strange entity inside the computer that doesn't want you to leave... can you complete your task and survive?FEATURES
- Explore new areas and make friends! Some may become besties, or your worst NIGHTMARE.
- From fishing and gardening to underground fights, enjoy a variety of FUN MINIGAMES!
- In this world... NOTHING is what it seems, and you must survive to uncover the truth.
- Make choices to experience different interactions!
- Action-packed and creepy animated cutscenes!
- Find COLLECTIBLES to uncover the hidden story!
We still don't have a precise release date for this one on Switch just yet, with the above announcement tweet only confirming that it will be hopping over to the Nintendo hybrid console at some point in 2024. That said, this one sure does look interesting so we will be keeping an eye out for updates over the coming months.
What do you make of The Bunny Graveyard? Does this one look like your cup of tea? Let us know in the comments.

Jumpscares and screamers sucks. Only suspense matters.
Most certainly not for me but still, always happy to see games people enjoyed coming also to Switch!
Watched the video and looked at all 4 screenshots, but still have no clue how this game looks or what it is about.
EDIT: Yes, I can read!
I can't tell if the switch port is just mapping mouse to joysticks sort of port. The game looks good though.
Switch has gotten so weak, it can only handle GBA style games now.
@Vyacheslav333 Some of the greatest horrors in media will disagree with you. It's a simply matter overdoing it.
Again, some of the best horrors mastered balancing the two.

If so, then, many horror creators are overdoing it.

Hmm... I don't know. I can't disagree nor agree with you.
No thank you. I have no interest in this game.
@Vyacheslav333 played this one on pc when it came out, surprisingly the game does rely on suspense instead of jumpscares. I only remember maybe one in the entire 2 hours it took me to beat the game. Don’t know if they’ll be used more in future chapters.
@IronMan30 where’s our Switch 2 Pro with ultra 4K and 999fps huh?
@DripDropCop146 - Jumpscares only work once. Once you know, it doesn't work again, or as impactful.
The main reason jumpscares are used is cause content streamers will gladly play them because OTHER people want to see people get jumpscared.
Atmospheric and environmental storytelling sets a whole different level of fear because of the suspense it gives you, often scaring ones self over having something innocuous come into view. And it the replay doesn't die out has sharply or drastically as simply remembering where the jumpscares are.
@Captain4359 Understood. Well, thanks for the info.
@Paraka Yeah.
I like it. The animation sort of gives off Max and Ruby vibes, and it looks like good, creepy fun.
@BirdBoy16 my thoughts, exactly!
That is such a cute announcement teaser.
I’ve seen other YouTubers play this game and it does look pretty interesting so I’ll consider buying it when it releases.
