'Infliction' (ALL) Delayed On Nintendo Switch Until Further Notice

by Rainier on Feb. 7, 2020 @ 8:15 a.m. PST

Infliction: Extended Cut is a psychological horror game exploring the darkness that haunts a once-happy family.

Wander through an interactive nightmare set within the confines of a once-happy household. Piece together the mystery behind a harrowing series of events while struggling to survive encounters with an entity that relentlessly stands in the way of finding absolution.

Explore a home crystallized by tragedy and uncover the heartbreaking secrets hidden within messages, artwork, household objects, and other vestiges of domestic life. Uncover clues and use items to unlock new paths and make discoveries while doing everything possible to avoid the malevolent presence inhabiting the residence. Hide under tables or beneath beds and harness light sources like camera flashes to stun the spirit and momentarily elude its pursuit.

Infliction couples a story-driven approach to horror with a dynamic atmosphere to produce an unsettling and unpredictable first-person experience that deals in mature subject matter. Imbuing familiar elements of everyday life with the supernatural, developer Caustic Reality delivers a terrifying otherworldly adventure that hits frighteningly close to home.

The Nintendo Switch release of Infliction: Extended Cut will no longer launch simultaneously alongside the PS4 and Xbox One versions on Feb. 25, 2020.

Featuring everything contained within the acclaimed and chilling original Steam release, the “Extended Cut” also includes additional endings and a fresh “New Game Plus” mode with bonus story content, increased difficulty, remixed scares, chilling new puzzles, and other surprises.

Key Features:

  • You are not alone: A restless AI enemy will be stalking you, and you really don’t want to be caught. Will you hide, or find some way to fight back?
  • Warped reality: Explore a realistic, interactive suburban house that gets more fractured and twisted the deeper you go.
  • Piece it together: Read letters, find diaries, and examine the precious mementos of a broken family to understand the terrible events that led you here.
  • Almost too real: The story is grounded in real-world domestic tragedy, the fears and hurts that we all know: broken hearts, betrayed trust, grief, and loss.
  • Light and dark: The power of Unreal renders a photorealistic environment with dynamic lights and shadows that can dazzle you or plunge you into darkness.
  • Choose your challenge: Standard difficulty will occasionally point you in the right direction, but in hard mode you will be on your own.

Currently available on PC (Steam), Infliction will be available for PS4, and Xbox One on Feb. 25, 2020 for $19.99, €17.99, £15.99, while the Nintendo Switch edition has been delayed.
