Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is now available on the Nintendo Game Store for only $11.04.

The game pays homage to the classic Resident Evil trilogy while adding a smidge of Silent Hill to the mix. The result is a unique single-player experience featuring bone-crushing difficulty, limited saves via consumable floppy disks, and panic-inducing encounters not for the faint of heart. Featuring fixed camera angles (a staple of the survivor horror genre since Alone in the Dark), Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is the most atmospheric entry in the Outbreak series – taking players from a well-lit, stately manor to a nightmarish environment far below ground.

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is the second Outbreak title to appear on Nintendo’s console – following the recent release of Outbreak: Epidemic.

The Switch version of Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles carries over improvements and bug fixes made to the original Steam release, including: 

• Massive rebalancing – making “Normal” difficulty slightly more manageable with buffed supplies, improved damage, and more (“Hard” and beyond are untouched and remain incredibly difficult).
• Superior enemy attack detection – giving the player more opportunities to dodge.
• Numerous fixes including geometry tweaking, enemy placement, and more.
• Significant performance and memory improvements.
• Dramatic reduction in load times.

• Fixed camera angles harken back to the early days of survival horror games.
• Dedicated Story Mode follows the player character, Lydia, as she becomes separated from her group.
• Limited inventory space, beautiful environments, and horrifying monsters!
• Fight through countless rooms in an action-packed Battle Mode – inspired by Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
• Search rooms, read logs, find keys, and solve puzzles to survive.
• Engage threats directly or run away to safety.
• Save games using (in-game) floppy disks!
• Choose from several firearms and melee weapons.
• Multiple difficulty settings – Easy, Normal, Biohazard, and a “one-hit-kill” Nightmare setting for the truly insane.
• No Internet connection required.
• Supports Switch Pro Controller, Joy-Cons in tabletop mode, and HD Rumble.

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is now available on the Nintendo Switch for $11.04 (15% off). On November 12, the game will return to its original MSRP of $12.99.
