If your friendship group hasn’t fallen out over a game of Among Us or an episode of The Traitors recently, get ready to test your trust all over again. Indie developer Ghost Camp has proudly announced that their hit social deduction game, Forest of Deceit, is officially available on the Nintendo Switch!

Having already made waves on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, Switch players can now join the paranoia for just £8.99 / €9.99.

What is Forest of Deceit?

Designed for 4 to 8 players, Forest of Deceit blends the casual, easy-to-pick-up accessibility of Jackbox party games with the high-stakes tension of classic hidden-role board games like Werewolf and Mafia.

The premise is deceptively simple: you and your fellow players find yourselves stranded in a vast, ominous forest. A deadly storm is rapidly approaching, and your only hope of survival is to work together to gather resources and construct a secure shelter before time runs out.

Sounds like a wholesome co-op survival game, right? Wrong. Hidden among your group are traitors whose sole goal is to sabotage the group’s efforts, waste precious time, and ensure the storm claims everyone. As you venture deeper into the woods to hunt for materials, every movement, decision, and split-second choice will be scrutinised by your teammates. Did your friend genuinely fail to find any timber, or are they secretly feeding you to the elements?

Why It’s the Perfect Switch Title

The Switch has long been the home of local and online party gaming, and Forest of Deceit fits right into the console’s library. Its Jackbox-esque party vibe makes it ideal for game nights, whether you’re sitting together on the couch screaming across the coffee table or playing online with friends across the globe.

At under a tenner (£8.99 / €9.99), it’s an absolute steal for anyone looking to add some strategic chaos to their digital board game collection.

Key Features:

• 4-8 Player Social Deduction: Perfect for small gatherings or full virtual party lobbies.
• Jackbox-Inspired Party Vibe: Easy to pick up, making it accessible for both hardcore gamers and casual party-goers.
• High-Stakes Tension: Channel your inner Claudia Winkleman as you bluff, accuse, and scheme your way to survival.
• Cross-Platform Availability: Now live on Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), PlayStation, and Xbox.

Are you ready to build a shelter, or will you backstab your way to victory? Forest of Deceit is available to download from the Nintendo eShop right now.
