Press release:
September 25th, 2024.
The UK-based indie games publisher Hound Picked Games and indie games developer Fossil Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their retro horror/adventure game “Camp Sunshine”, is coming to consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X /S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) on October 9th, 2024.

The Only Thing To Fear Is Fear Itself

In Camp Sunshine, players step into the shoes of Jez, a kid dropped off at summer camp for what’s supposed to be a fun, unforgettable experience. But when Jez wakes up in the dead of night, things take a terrifying turn. Blood stains the campgrounds, and a relentless killer is on the hunt, slaughtering everyone in sight. Now, you must survive a nightmarish game of cat and mouse, where every shadow hides danger and escape is anything but guaranteed.

No Tears, Please. It’s A Waste Of Good Suffering!

In a brutal race for survival, Jez must unravel the twisted mystery behind the Summer Camp Slasher. As the blood-soaked history of the camp unravels, the truth becomes more terrifying than the killer’s rampage. Only by confronting these horrifying secrets can Jez hope to end the night of terror and escape with his life. Time is running out, and the nightmare is just beginning!

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Camp Sunshine is finally making its terrifying debut on consoles. Back in 2016, when our little two-person team unleashed it on Steam, we were blown away by the incredible response. Now, bringing our love letter to 1980s slasher horror to a whole new audience feels like a hauntingly perfect dream come true. The game was born out of our obsession with horror, and we can’t wait for players to dive into the nightmare once again!” – Paul, one half of Fossil Games.
