Cathedral: The Crow’s Curse Arriving on Nintendo Switch

Sure thing, here we go—let’s chat about this new game, Cathedral: Crow’s Curse. So Decemberborn Interactive just dropped an update that they’re cooking up something new for the Nintendo Switch. Funny how I’ve started to look forward to these announcements like a kid waiting for candy. Or maybe that’s just me.

Alright, here’s the scoop. This is a solo prequel to Cathedral, where you step into the shoes (if crows even wear shoes) of Crow. Remember Crow? That badass Shade Sentinel dude from the first game? Anyway, the balance is all out of whack in the Shade Forest. It’s like, every time I hear about a forest in a game, it’s always haunted or cursed. Makes you wonder if there’s a happy forest out there… but back to Crow and those creepy woods. He’s on a mission, diving into the ruins and unearthing dark motives. Kinda like my Saturday nights but with less TV and more ancient mysteries.

They’re promising this combat that’s, like, really fluid. Think you’re gonna need ninja reflexes because enemy patterns need cracking. Also, the game’s kinda sneaky. Stealth’s a biggie here—like, you can either sneak around enemies or go all stabby-stabby from the shadows. I’d probably get caught because I trip over invisible stuff all the time. But anyway, sounds intense, right?

And Eric Lavesson, the brain behind Decemberborn, says they’re super into making games that players can really vibe with. I get it—the whole returning-to-Cathedral-world spiel. Imagine crafting something so personal and tossing it out there for us gamers to chew on. Eric’s got his heart in it; let’s see if it hits us in the feels or the controller through the TV.

So they’ve shared these “key features.” You’ve got your skill combat, dodging like it’s dodgeball all over again. A seamless world, whatever that means—everything these days is seamless. But yeah, handmade worlds are cool. Sneaking tactics? More of the “stay quiet as a mouse” vibes. They even mentioned enemies reacting to sight, sound, and touch. Like, how are they detecting touch? Psychic ants? Who knows. There are upgrades too, kind of like leveling up your coffee to a caramel macchiato.

And, surprise! It’s coming to the eShop, but when? Who knows. It’s like they leave us hanging on purpose.

So, that’s the skinny on Cathedral: Crow’s Curse. If it ends up being a wild ride, remember who gave you the first heads-up. 😉
