Lite Switch: Nov 4, 2026 | The Mermaid Mask, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Vampire Crawlers, Locktale

In this Lite Switch episode of The Old SwitchAroo, Mike and Jaymo are talking about the games they've been playing during the season break: The Mermaid Mask, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Vampire Crawlers, and Locktale.

Mike's super excited to finally get to talk about SFB Games' follow-up to Tangle Tower, bringing back Detective Grimoire and Sally in their well-received release of The Mermaid Mask. Jaymo's been working through the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds season pass and has a surprise Minigame Minute focused on the DLC. And speaking of DLC, the Death Parade DLC is now out for Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors (yes, all of that is listed as the title). And then we journey into cryptography a little bit with the recently-released puzzle game Locktale. With the exception of Locktale, all these games are currently available on the Nintendo Switch (though Mike's been playing on Steam).
