Metamorphosis Collection: Terrifying Trio of Games heading to Game Boy Color
www.retronews.com
Metamorphosis Collection claims to be the “first ever Game Boy Color horror compilation,” and it compiles three brand new games for the retro handheld format: Specimen 134, Decline, and Opossum Country. All three of the  new Game Boy Color games on Metamorphosis Collection are psychological horror games, which certainly isn’t a genre we’d usually associate with Nintendo’s colorful handheld console. In Specimen 134, you play as a regular kid named Jason who starts to notice strange things happening in his town. His friend David asks him to explore the woods, but Jason may not like what they find there…

Metamorphosis Collection, a collection of three new psychological horror games, is coming to the Game Boy Color. This collection, developed by Incube8 Games, marks a significant move for the retro handheld console, offering a darker and more eerie experience.

  • Specimen 134: Play as Jason, who starts noticing strange things in his town. Explore these occurrences with your friend David to uncover what lies within.
  • Decline: Take on the role of an elderly detective dealing with cognitive decline. Your quest is to solve a seemingly simple case but beware, as nothing may be as it seems.
  • Opossum Country: Embark on a delivery journey through haunted backwoods; your curiosity might end up being fatal.

The Metamorphosis Collection will be available in multiple editions tailored for emulation and Game Boy Color players alike. The Digital Edition is perfect for emulator users, whereas the Standard Edition comes with physical components like a sealed box, clear black cartridge, and more. For those looking to experience these horrors in all their glory on hardware, there’s also the Halloween 2024 Special Edition, offering a unique clear red cartridge.

When can you play?: You’ll have to pre-order before October 31st, 2024, for the special edition with the limited-time clear red cartridge.

Are these horror games suitable for the vibrant and colorful Game Boy Color?

    So cool to see people developing games for older systems. Has anyone played them? Are they good?
