Horror

Baroque-Ya marries frenetic twin-stick shooting with a dating sim's relationship-building. Players navigate bullet-hell arenas, blasting hordes of abstract horrors while juggling conversations with their potential paramours. The core loop hinges on resource management: ammo, health, and affection points all demand constant attention, forcing tough choices in its neon-drenched, pixelated world.

About Baroque-Ya

Details
Baroque-Ya is a collection from Japanese developer and publisher Sting, bringing together four titles from the company's post-apocalyptic Baroque series for the Nintendo Switch. This collection brings together four distinct titles from the series' history: BAROQUE: Original Version: The game that started it all. This is the original 1998 version of the 3D dungeon-crawling RPG, where players guide an amnesiac protagonist through the ever-changing Neuro Tower to atone for a forgotten sin. BAROQUE Syndrome: A prequel to the main story, originally released as a visual novel in 2000. This game delves into the lives of the characters and the events that led to the world-altering catastrophe known as the Great Heat Wave. BAROQUE Shooting: Reversed: An updated release of the 2000 PC spin-off. This title is a 2D side-scrolling shoot 'em up, offering a fast-paced, action-oriented take on the Baroque universe. BAROQUE Become a Meta-Being Revive: An updated version of the 2022 arcade-style game. In this Frogger-esque title, players take on the role of a Meta-Being, navigating obstacles to survive in the distorted world.
