MixedBag and Adventure Productions have announced today that they will be working together to bring two brand new point and click adventure games to Nintendo Switch later this year.
Inspired by recent releases such as Thimbleweed Park which arrived on Switch last year, the two studios have decided to take on the challenge of bringing more games of the genre to consoles. The first two of these releases will be The Wardrobe and Detective Gallo. More information on these two titles has been provided below.
The Wardrobe, developed by C.I.N.I.C. Games and released on Steam in February 2017, tells the deeds of the cynical Skinny, a skeleton committed to saving the soul of his best friend in a world populated by surreal characters and tons of pop culture references from the '90s and 2000s.
Detective Gallo, developed by Footprints and scheduled for release this Spring, narrates the investigations of the feathered private investigator Gallo and his silent assistant cactus, dealing with a bloody case of multiple plant homicide.
Hopefully you've already watched the teaser trailer for Detective Gallo above and, if you're interested, you can also check out the Steam trailer for The Wardrobe here.
Both games will reportedly make use of the Switch's touchscreen, a very handy feature for games of the genre, and will be releasing later this year. Are you happy to see more point and click games heading to the Switch?

I hate the term "point and click". It is a bad way to describe a genre. First, those type of games didn't start as "point and click". They started with text commands. Second, there is usually more than pointing and clicking.
The proper name of these kind of games is actually Adventure Games or Quests (because of the classic Sierra games).
I love this classic genre. Thimbleweed Park was just brilliant and fun. I hope they released the remastered versions of the old Luca's Arts library. I played Day of the Tentacle on PS4 and loved it.
All I want to know is, if it will have pointer/gyro controls, unlike Thimbleweed Park.
Saw the picture, hoped it was Undertale...it wasn't.
Love this dying genre. The classic Sierra games were some of my favorite growing up and Kings Quest V is probably one of my favorite games ever.
I LOVE adventure games so bring em on. I like taking in a good quirky story and solving puzzles at my own pace. My toe of game.
Point and click Ducktales, doesn't look bad.
Glad there seems to be a newfound love for point-and-click games on the switch. I tend to like this type of game with a more moody, mysterious, or haunting plot and atmosphere preferably. I'd like to see way more of those types if possible.
