Taboo Trial is a 3D rogue-like action game developed by Cat Shine and published by Happy Player. Originally released on the Nintendo eShop on July 4, 2024, it puts you in the role of a Norse warrior—a Valkyrie—tasked with exploring the frozen remnants of Valhalla and uncovering the truth behind the Twilight of the Gods. Core Gameplay Features
Combat & Weapons: Players use a variety of divine weapons, including long swords, giant axes, and spears, to fight "Giants"—which in this game are enigmatic mechanical beings rather than traditional humanoid creatures.
Godly Blessings: Guided by Loki, you choose blessings from Norse gods to customize your combat style and activate unique passive and active skills.
Roguelike Loop: The game features five stages where you fight waves of enemies and bosses. Dying sends you back to a hub world where you can use gathered resources—like souls, runes, and holy water—to unlock new characters, weapons, and permanent upgrades. Taboo Trial Switch NSP -Update- -eShop-

Yes—with a warning label.
If you are sensitive to body horror, gaslighting, or themes of self-harm, skip this one. The game earns its "Mature" rating.
However, if you love Danganronpa or Your Turn to Die, you will devour this in a single weekend. The art style is a gorgeous mix of watercolor and glitch-core, and the voice acting (Japanese & English) is surprisingly top-tier.
