- CORPSE FACTORY is out now on Nintendo Switch! - 30 June 2022
The last few weeks have been a wild ride since we launched CORPSE FACTORY on Steam. The game has received a wealth of positive reviews, press coverage and fan art. It has gained quite the little cult following, and we couldn’t be happier! Today marks a special occasion for our team - and for you, our valuable supporters.

Corpse Girl would be proud to see our ambitions achieved. You can now play through the twisted story from the security and comfort of your couch. Or, for those of you daring enough, you can venture forth in handheld mode for on-the-go chills. What’s next…? The launch of the Nintendo Switch version is the last thing to tick off our (rather lengthy) to-do list! All that remains now is to sit back, rel…

As we dive into the final steps of development, we’re super excited to share our progress for the month. Let’s take a look at what we achieved during February! Our entire voice cast has finished recording, and we’ve edited and implemented their performances into the game. We need to finalize a handful of line retakes, but this should be wrapped up quickly! It’s such a thrill playing through the game now that it is voiced! Our PC build for the game is shaping up well. We spent the month trying to improve performance and squash a couple of lingering bugs. If all goes well, we’ll be able to spend some time next month focusing on developing Steam-specific features, such as achievements and cloud saves. Our Nintendo Switch build is coming along nicely! There’s a lot more to consider when developing for this platform. The hardware is a little more restrictive than PC, so we’ve spent a lot of…
