Top Hat Studios and Suzaku have officially announced that Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story will be making its highly anticipated debut on the Nintendo Switch.
The atmospheric horror adventure, which originally gained traction through a successful Kickstarter campaign, delivers a unique blend of classic cyberpunk themes and traditional Cantonese folklore, promising to reinvigorate the horror genre on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console. Set in the dystopian future of 2083 Neo Hong Kong, Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is a 2.5D narrative-driven game inspired by classic titles like Clock Tower and Fatal Frame.
Players step into the shoes of Mei-Lin Mak, a young woman who finds herself drawn into a chilling supernatural mystery.
As she investigates the ruins of the Chong Sing Apartments, Mei-Lin must piece together the haunting stories of 14 lost souls and confront a decades-old family curse.
The game's distinctive setting combines eerie aspects of traditional Chinese mythology with the neon-lit, high-tech world characteristic of cyberpunk, offering players an atmospheric horror experience rooted in both past and future. Lead developer and studio owner Benjamin Widdowson reflected on the game's stylistic evolution, stating that through extensive design drafts, collaborative feedback, and support from an established publisher, he and his team were able to achieve a compelling artistic direction and build 'something truly original and engaging.' This dedication to craft is evident throughout the game’s immersive storytelling and intricate world-building. Unlike many modern survival horror titles, Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story eschews excessive jump scares and high-octane action in favor of atmospheric tension and methodical, suspenseful gameplay.
The developers’ mission is clear: to restore the slow-building dread and psychological horror that defined the genre’s early masterpieces, drawing players into a prolonged sense of unease as they unravel the chilling narrative. Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is set to launch globally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch in 2020.
Its coming release highlights the continuing trend of unique, story-driven indie titles finding a strong foothold on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Players eager to explore a haunting cyberpunk world rooted in folklore can look forward to experiencing its chilling mysteries later this year.
