It is a web-based co-op recreation which launched again in February 2025 the place you and as much as 5 pals must work collectively to find a protracted misplaced age of humanity. You should steadiness quiet and cautious with panic and hilarity as chaos ensues. It went viral when it dropped early entry, and rightly so.

The scenario seems to be similar to the one which hit the builders of The Backrooms 1998, one other PC horror that really launched on Swap earlier this yr. R.E.P.O. is just not on Swap in any manner, form, or type proper now, and it appears to be like just like the writer of this faux model has primarily ripped off the viral recreation.
Luckily, the reddit consumer has contacted Nintendo Assist, and confirmed that “they’re escalating the difficulty to their head admins.” We actually hope this sort of stuff stops, as a result of it is damaging for the individuals who make the unique video games, but in addition shoppers who do not realise they’re being scammed.
Digging into issues a bit of extra, “REPO Horror” is printed by BoggySoft who can be chargeable for bringing one other suspicious-looking recreation to the eShop: Solely Up!, which seems to be a duplicate of a equally titled recreation, OnlyUP! — which launched again in 2023.
Amazingly, to cap this all off, BoggySoft appears assured sufficient that the sport might be on Swap 2, too, because it lists the file measurement for a Swap 1 and Swap 2 launch. Hmmm. One thing tells us that will not occur…
