Every so often, the Internet finds a new indie horror game to fixate on for a couple of months. Usually, a sign that a game has made it to new heights is if you start seeing clips of Markiplier or, in this case, Jacksepticeye playing it on TikTok (or your preferred short form platform). In December, The Cabin Factory was a hit when it came to PC and shook the indie horror game scene with its original take on the genre and tense, clippable moments. Now, portable players can clock into the factory, with an upcoming Nintendo Switch launch on October 16. Anyone else changing their Halloween plans to play it?<\/p>\n
The game involves walking through a prop cabin to establish whether or not it\u2019s haunted – keep an eye out for anomalies, and turn around if you see anything you don\u2019t like the look of. It\u2019s tense, fun, and tests your spot-the-difference abilities. What\u2019s more is that The Cabin Factory will come to your Switch for $2.99, or \u00a32.69, a steal for an estimated 60 minutes of gameplay. It seems like a no-brainer purchase if you\u2019re a fan of the genre. The only thing to keep in mind is that the Switch version of the game won\u2019t come with the supporter\u2019s pack DLC, so if you want to pet Greta\u2019s cats or appear in the credits, you\u2019ll have to buy the PC version.<\/p>\n
With the price of new Switch games getting increasingly costly, it\u2019s absolutely essential that games like this exist for players to continue to have fun for less. The indie horror genre has shown us an amazing range over the last few years, providing some of the most well-thought-out and cared-for titles in the whole of the video game industry. With comparisons to I\u2019m On Observation Duty and Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s, and nearly two thousand \u2018very positive\u2019 Steam reviews, The Cabin Factory quickly joined games like the Backrooms, Exit 8, The Mortuary Assistant, and Phasmophobia as indie horror royalty. In fact, developer International Cat Studios took inspiration from some of these games to create The Cabin Factory.<\/p>\n
