tERRORbane Out Now on Nintendo Switch and Steam

"Bugs are your friends", they say!

By Erickson Melchoron

tERRORbane, the comedic JRPG from developer BitNine Studio and published by WhiperGames, is out now on both Nintendo Switch and PC (via Steam) for $15.99 USD with a 10% launch week discount.

The game tasks players with playtesting a JRPG inspired game from The Developer, who swears his game is the greatest of all time! (It’s not. Don’t tell him that… yet.)

tERRORbane is a comedic adventure where bugs are your FRIENDS!

Complete levels that pay homage to old-school Final Fantasy and Zelda games, along with modern classics like Undertale and There is No Game: Wrong Dimension. From the DDR inspired minigame, tabletop card battling, and Pokemon Red and Blue-esque encounters, tERRORbane pokes fun at classic RPG tropes as The Developer provides hilarious commentary along the way.

tERRORbane - The Developer

Navigate The Developer’s clumsy level design by discovering bugs in each level and keeping track of them in the handy bug list. Playing each level once barely scratches the surface. Replay levels multiple times to discover new bugs which will lead to new areas and characters to interact with!

“We’re really excited to finally bring tERRORbane to all of its players,” says Andrea Leoni, co-founder and story writer at BitNine Studio. To us, making this game was an incredible journey and we hope that our love for the media of video gaming shines through to our audience, every step of the way they decide to take with us. tERRORbane truly is a labor of passion and we urge you to never believe the Developer when he tells you what to do or how you should do it. To us BitNine Studio, there is no incorrect way to enjoy our game, except maybe not having fun with it. So ‘GO FORTH, HEROES’ and enjoy some glitchy madness!”

tERRORbane Features:

  • Experience a meta-narrative adventure where you shape the story.

  • Discover hilarious bugs and glitches, which can be seen in the bug list menu.
  • Relive iconic (bug-filled) moments in video game history.
