And I fervently hope that’s the case, since the original game is still inexplicably exclusive to PC. Castle in the Darkness 2 is currently only slated for PC, but I have a feeling it might make its way to consoles if it’s popular enough. Well, suffice to say I better dust off my copy of Castle in the Darkness soon, cause Matt Kap is working on a sequel! Along with Simon Parzer, who also had a hand in the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, they’re making a more visually modern adventure in a similar vein to the original. After all, it’s essentially a Metroidvania by Matt Kap, and despite apparently being super hard, it looked like my kind of game. But, since I still enjoy a good retro adventure, I find Castle in the Darkness very compelling. Hell, a couple years ago before I got into Steam and purchased a Vita, I made fun of my friends saying they didn’t know how many games they owned, but now I’m firmly in the same boat, especially with my Switch backlog. Which is a very common problem for most gamers.

Castle in the Darkness is one of those games I was super eager to play after seeing the trailer, and then I bought it and somehow forgot I owned it.
