Press release:
The Gothenburg-based indie games publisher Thunderful Publishing and indie games developer Carry Castle, are today super excited and happy to announce that their Lovecraftian-inspired action roguelite “Source of Madness”, is getting a limited physical release for the Nintendo Switch (which would be the first time ever!) via Super Rare Games on January 5th, 2023!
A total of 4,000 copies total will ever be printed, which go on sale on January 5th at 6pm GMT (10am PT/1pm ET) – available worldwide exclusively at superraregames.com.
The game will be available in both Standard and SteelBook editions. There will be 2,000 copies of both editions. The standard releases come with all the current content on their cart, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
The SteelBook editions come with all of the above as well as the stunningly nightmarish steelbook case. And in typical Super Rare fashion, fans won’t be waiting for long as Super Rare Games titles ship shortly after release.
About Source of Madness
Take on the role of a new Acolyte as they embark on a nightmarish odyssey in this side-scrolling dark action roguelite set in the Loam Lands, a twisted Lovecraftian-inspired world. Uncover the cosmic secrets of the Loam Lands and The Tower of Madness, the moon’s mysterious Citadel.
