Let the Retro Horror Begin:The Padre Now Available

April 18th, Krakow, Poland | The Padre, the retro stylised 3D horror adventure game that oozes influence from the classic horror games of yesteryear is out today on PC and Nintendo Switch!

The game launches on Nintendo Switch and Steam today, April 18th, 2019, and will remain so for at least 30 days. For those waiting for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions, please be patient.

The game is on Steam and eShop for an MSRP of $19.99 / 19,99 € / £17.99.

A quick thanks from the dev:

It has been a long and stressful road for us. Countless mugs of coffee and unslept nights later we can finally say it out loud – We’ve done it! The Padre is coming out worldwide. We’ve dreamt about this day for months and we cannot wait to see how it will be received by media, but most importantly, by the wonderful community of video game enthusiasts out there.

The project grew from our love of retro games and genres that for the most have been long forgotten – Point and Click Adventure games and the beginnings of the Horror Adventure genre. This is why we used voxel graphics (or if you prefer a less technical term, 3D Pixel Art), filled the game with easter eggs and made the protagonist a witty smart-ass, taking us back to the golden age of action films.

Of course, we left out some gameplay anachronisms that would make the game less-enjoyable but we preserved the aesthetic and feel as much as possible.

The IDDQD code is no longer necessary, so we’re leaving god mode off and the rest is up to you. We hope you will enjoy playing The Padre as much as we adored creating it.
