If you’re a fan of collecting physical copies and love a good spook, then mark your calendars for 31st October. Super Rare Games is at it again, bringing us not one but two incredible indie titles in exclusive physical formats for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Just in time for Halloween, no less!
Embrace the horror with The Mortuary Assistant*
First up, we’ve got The Mortuary Assistant, developed by Darkstone Digital and published by DreadXP. This isn’t your typical 9-to-5 job simulator. You’ve just completed your degree in mortuary sciences and landed an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. Sounds standard, right? Well, think again.
Late one eerie night, you’re called in to handle some embalmings. But these aren’t your everyday cadavers. There’s something off—something sinister. The phone rings, and the mortician warns you that the rumours are true. You’re trapped, and leaving isn’t an option.
With only 2000 copies for PS5 and 4000 for Switch, this is a collector’s dream (or nightmare?). If you’re into atmospheric horror that gets under your skin, this is one you won’t want to miss.
A sci-fi odyssey awaits in Somerville
Next on the roster is Somerville, brought to us by Jumpship. If sci-fi adventures are more your speed, then buckle up. In the aftermath of a global catastrophe, you must navigate a world torn apart by conflict with a hostile alien civilisation. But it’s not just about survival; it’s about making your family whole again.
Experience the intimate struggles of a young family separated during the final moments of a devastating war. The game delves deep into the personal impact such events have on ordinary people—a narrative that’s both haunting and heartfelt.
Only 2000 copies are available for PS5, making this another must-have for collectors.
When and where?
Both titles go on sale on 31st October at 6pm GMT (that’s 11am PDT or 2pm EDT for our friends across the pond). Given the limited number of copies, you’ll want to be poised and ready to snag yours before they’re gone. Head over to Super Rare Games to make your purchase.
