Onyx: The Dark Grip Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027 (translated)
Player agency: how policy constrains it, how the industry shapes it, how narrative design realizes it.
Bloober Team has announced that this new supernatural title will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, with a launch planned for 2027. The game lets players control the protagonist as they interfere with the surrounding world, while those actions in turn affect the protagonist’s mental state; as a result, players are not simply dealing with anomalous events, but facing the survival pressure that every intervention may carry a psychological cost.

Sakigarasu's Take
The protagonist’s interference feeds back into their sanity, meaning the player’s choices may change both the world and the cost they can bear. This design puts control back in the player’s hands, but hands-on information still needs to confirm whether that cost is genuinely determined by the player rather than treating a mental breakdown as a preset punishment.
