<p>Once upon a time the FMV was all the rage in video games, especially back on PC in the ’90s. Well, it’s having something of a comeback on Switch. First, there’s the recently released <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/bunker">The Bunker</a></strong>, and now Japanese handheld owners are getting another live-action romp in the form of horror outing, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/closed_nightmare">Closed Nightmare</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Mixing live-action sequences, exploration and other in-game challenges, the game follows the unfortunate journey of a kidnapped woman attempting to escape a gruesome experiment. Heroine/victim Maria Kamishiro also has her left arm paralyzed, although we don’t know how that will affect gameplay (if at all) just yet.</p>
