Point and Click Adventure 'Dead Tomb' is Coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox & NES!

Dead Tomb is a brand-new fun, point and click adventure game that will take you back to the heyday of retro gaming.

Your employer sends you on a study that takes you back in time, but as fate would have it, you find yourself in a serious predicament.

A malfunction in your ship forces you to land in Egypt 1300BC where luckily you spot a huge pyramid you can set your craft down on. Well, maybe you are not so lucky? It should be an easy fix. One you have done so many times before. It should be only a short time before you are back to your journey, right?

Not so fast. The Pharaoh Seti I's soldiers discover your appearance in their land and take matters into their own hands. This brand-new game can be pre-ordered on Nintendo Switch and Xbox starting Jan. 19th with a retail release to follow on Jan. 26, 2024.

The next thing you know, you wake up with a huge bump on your head and deep inside the pyramid. Where are you? Why are you here? Can you get out and return to your mission?

Time will tell...

Dead Tomb will also be the first physical NES release from 8-Bit Legit, as the game will be part of the "Final Edition" series that is limited to just 300 copies.

"We are very excited to unveil our Final Edition NES series," said Tim Hartman, Producer and Partner for 8-Bit Legit. "Having Dead Tomb as our first release is an honor, as the team at CollectorVision/Acclaim are such a vital part to not only the indieNES but retro community as well."

CollectorVision and Acclaim are veterans of the retro and modern development communities, with previous releases that include the Sydney Hunter series and lots of releases for the ColecoVision console.

They have been creating and releasing in the retro space since 2008 and published their first modern game "Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan" in 2019.This brand-new game can be pre-ordered on Nintendo Switch and Xbox starting Jan. 19th with a retail release to follow on Jan. 26, 2024.
