Get your staple guns and curiosity ready, because the city’s favourite zinester is making the jump to the big screen. The Anthology of the Killer, the critically-acclaimed collection of surrealist horror-comedy from indie legend thecatamites, officially arrives on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 tomorrow, April 14th, 2026.
Originally a cult sensation on PC, this collection brings together nine “living zines” into one stylishly messy package. If you’ve been looking for a game that feels like a fever dream scribbled in the margins of a notebook, your wait is almost over.
What is Anthology of the Killer?
Set in a city where serial murder is less of a tragedy and more of a mundane lifestyle choice, you play as BB, an aspiring zine creator. As BB, you’ll navigate a world of “drinky birds,” secret waterparks, and avant-garde theatre, all while documenting the bizarre (and often lethal) happenings around you.
The collection includes all nine episodes of the series, from the corporate dread of Voice of the Killer to the fireworks-lit finale of Face of the Killer.
Quick Specs:
- Developer: thecatamites (Stephen Gillmurphy)
- Collaborators: Tommy Tone (Music), A. Degen (Art)
- Consoles: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5
- Launch Price: £6.49 / $7.99 / €7.99
- Launch Discount: 10% off for Nintendo eShop and PlayStation Plus members at launch.
Why the Hype?
The series has garnered an “Overwhelmingly Positive” reputation for its unique blend of horror, humour, and social commentary.
- Hand-Drawn Aesthetic: Built using the “Doodle Studio 95” plugin, the art style is intentionally frazzled and raw, perfectly capturing the DIY spirit of zine culture.
- Surreal Narrative: Inspired by everything from Junji Ito to daytime soap operas, the stories start in the mundane and spiral into the cosmic and absurd.
- Bonus Content: The console release isn’t just a port. It features an integrated loader, joypad support, and exclusive bonus rooms for the most dedicated zine-collectors.
