The Suicide of Rachel Foster Reaches The Switch This Month

The Suicide of Rachel Foster has a lot of powerful themes, and having joined the party a little later after the release date, I can say that this ‘walking simulator’ is an interesting one to consider now it’s coming to Nintendo Switch, published by Daedalic.

• A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time To Trip
• The Best Of Two Worlds In Shin Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town
• Blood Hunting Is Dark And Dangerous, This Summer On PS5
• Age of Defense Review: This Takes Ages
• Minds Beneath Us Review: Data Ghost In The Shell 

Set in an abandoned hotel, a labyrinth in itself, you slowly piece together a ghost story of sorts as the building houses lots of dark, inner secrets that have been locked away for many reasons.

As Nicole, your mother’s dying wish was for you to uncover these dark truths, but once you’re there, it’s not solely your own choice anymore, and to some degree, you become trapped. You can read my review here.

Key features in The Suicide of Rachel Foster include:

• Explore the vast and detailed hotel, unravelling the dark secrets of the family’s past
• Binaural audio for a truly immersive experience
• Intriguing, touching and mature storytelling
• Multi-layered narrative thriller, combining elements of mystery and horror

Here’s the Switch trailer:

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is currently available on PS4, Xbox One and the PC, but Switch owners get their chance to play on the 31st of October 2021.
