The summary shall NOT include a title, introduction and conclusion. Text: Valve's Steam platform continues to dominate the PC gaming landscape, offering developers a streamlined publishing process that contrasts sharply with the more complex requirements of console platforms. This accessibility has allowed a plethora of unique titles to flourish, many of which may never find their way to consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch. However, some standout games eventually make the leap, and a recent leak has hinted that The Cabin Factory, a highly regarded horror experience from International Cat Studios and publisher Future Friends Games, is set to join their ranks. Upcoming Console Port Evidence of this port surfaced through a page listing achievements for both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One versions of The Cabin Factory. This page intriguingly links to an inactive Xbox listing on the Microsoft Store, suggesting that a transition to Microsoft’s consoles is indeed on the horizon. Originally launched on Steam in December of last year, The Cabin Factory has received a "Very Positive" rating, with an impressive 93% of recent reviews and 91% of all reviews applauding its engaging atmosphere and writing. With a total of 2,596 reviews, players have praised the game for its immersive experience, despite its straightforward gameplay mechanics. The game's premise revolves around a series of prefab cabins that have been reported to be haunted. As the Cabin Inspector, players are tasked with investigating these cabins to determine if they are free from supernatural anomalies. The gameplay is simple yet effective: any movement within the cabin indicates a haunting, prompting the player to hit the red "DANGER" button and exit. Conversely, if everything remains still, the green "CLEAR" button can be pressed, even when unsettling sights are encountered. Rather than relying on jump scares, The Cabin Factory leans into psychological horror, drawing inspiration from notable titles such as KOTAKE CREATE's The Exit 8, Tensori's POOLS, and the infamous playable teaser for Silent Hills. As players progress, they unravel a narrative that subtly intertwines with classic fairytale elements, adding depth to the experience. At a price point of just .99, The Cabin Factory is not only a compelling game but also an affordable option, likely mirroring its Steam pricing on Xbox. While the exact release date for the console version remains uncertain, the recent leak suggests that an official announcement may be forthcoming. Additionally, speculation surrounds potential ports to other platforms such as PS5, PS4, and Switch, although nothing has been confirmed yet. Interestingly, it appears that The Cabin Factory will not be available through Xbox Game Pass, as its store page does not mention this popular service. Given its low price, this is not entirely surprising, though there remains a possibility for future inclusion, as Game Pass has historically provided significant exposure for indie titles. For those eager to explore new titles on Xbox, this week also sees the release of Grounded 2, the much-anticipated sequel to Obsidian's original survival game, alongside NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound, a new action platformer arriving just ahead of the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4." max_tokens="3500" temperature="0.3" top_p="1.0" best_of="1" presence_penalty="0.1" frequency_penalty="frequency_penalty"].99.
