Press release:
The small indie games studio Arbitrary Metric are today very proud and excited to announce that their experimental first-person horror game “Paratopic” is coming to the Nintendo Switch in late 2020.

Playable both in TV and handheld mode, experience a short-story masterpiece and enjoy the story anywhere. Take the horror with you.

Paratopic, an experimental first-person horror game named by Rock, Paper, Shotgun as one of the best games of 2018, and by FACT mag as having one of the top 10 soundtracks of the year now will be available for new audiences.

Cutting between numerous detailed and varied vignettes, unravel how the stories of three individual characters intersect. Explore the detritus of forbidden industry, kill, drive through the night, find yourself in conversation with some very off-kilter individuals.

A leisurely playthrough should take forty five minutes give or take, with plenty more to discover in the detailed, grimey low polygon environments. Just ideal for the pocket, isn’t it?

Over an hour of gorgeous dark ambient music is used to create our subtly dynamic soundscape. An anachronistic blend of modern and outdated production as glitches and textural pads meet synthesis & sampling akin to 1990s Unreal Engine soundtracks.

Paratopic is coming to Nintendo Switch this year.

Stay tuned for a release date and pricing!
