Wales Interactive has announced that the blood-soaked interactive sci-fi horror Dead Reset will be released on Nintendo Switch in the coming months.
From Dark Rift Horror, it centres on surgeon Cole Mason, who, trapped in a terrifying death-loop, is kidnapped and brought to an underwater facility where he is forced to operate on a patient to extract an evolving parasitic horror. Each death will bring you closer to the truth.
“Dead Reset was designed to get under the skin of the player and deliver relentless scares driven by gruesome practical effects and a time-bending descent into terror,” explains film director Stewart Sparke. “I can’t wait for people to dive in and play our blood-drenched, interactive love letter to the horror genre!”
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Death is Inevitable: Master the death-loop to uncover the path to escape. Death is not the end but offers a terrifying new perspective.
- Embrace the Horror: Immerse yourself in a blood-soaked, interactive narrative with cinematic scares, bloody practical effects and high-stakes choice-driven gameplay that put you at the heart of a relentless sci-fi horror movie.
- Choices Matter: Steer Cole on a path of Redemption or Damnation in your fight to survive. There are no easy choices as your morality is tested at every turn and your decisions will result in four wildly different endings.
- Pause the Terror: Playing to an audience? Enable Streamer Mode, which removes time constraints on choices, letting your viewers guide Cole’s fate and delight in his gruesome deaths.
- Who Do You Trust? Build trust or fracture alliances; each bond forged or broken influences your road to survival. View the in-game tracker to check your relationship with other characters, if they are still alive.
Dead Reset will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in September 2025.
