Indie game 'The Darkside Detective' coming soon to Nintendo Switch
A ton of indie video games are aiming to launch on the Nintendo Switch console and gaming studio SpookyDoorway is no different. In their official Twitter account, it was revealed that their latest indie game, "The Darkside Detective," is coming to Nintendo Switch after making its debut on PC back in July.
The official game description of "The Darkside Detective" reads: "Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult... occults? You'll find Detective Francis McQueen, the sole member of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division. When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City – hell, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways – he's there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will. He is The Darkside Detective."
"The Darkside Detective is a classic point and click adventure game with a distinct sense of humour. It's being developed for PC and Mac and is set to be released this year. Come and join Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley as they investigate 6 bizarre cases. From the occult to the supernatural, anything is possible in this micro adventure game," continued the post.
Although the game dwells on the spooky side, it is not that scary at all, given the fun and challenging adventure mysteries Detective Francis McQueen has to solve. According to the developers, there are six cases players have to solve, with each one more mind-bending than the last. Players will also be treated with some fun background music throughout the game, courtesy of Ben Prunty, the composer behind "FTL" and "Gravity Ghost."
It will be the game's debut on a console, although the developers have not mentioned an official release date just yet. It can only be played on PC for now, available for download on Steam for $12.99 in the US. No announcement has been made whether "The Darkside Detective" is going to be released on other platforms as well.
