SkyGoblin and BlitWorks have announced that their point-and-click series The Journey Down will be launching periodically towards the end of June on Nintendo Switch.
The adventure begins in a shady corner of Kingsport Bay, on the outskirts of St Armando, where Bwana and his trusted sidekick Kito struggle to make ends meet at their run-down gas station. Little do they know that they are about to be thrown into a spine-tingling adventure that will take them far from home and right into corruption and danger. The adventure promises to bring a whole lot of laughs and brain-teasing adventure.
Features
- A twisting tale of intriguing adventure
- Tons of hand-painted environments
- An all original jazzy reggae soundtrack

That's a somewhat unorthodox release/pricing structure but kudos to them for going there.
I haven't yet played this game, but I do think it looks very interesting.
This looks well made and I'm happy to see more games in settings that aren't Tolkien derived fantasy worlds... but after revisiting some Lucas Arts classics recently, I'm no longer sure I have the patience for point and click adventures.
I remember playing the first chapter a long time ago and it was very, VERY good, nice to see it coming to Switch, I was thinking about how I needed a point and click fix.
Hopefully they add touch controls. It was my preferred way to play Thimbleweed Park.
I really hope, that they add pointer controls.
I just played the Thimbleweed Park with my brother, and man, the thumbstick controls in a pointer game was making us lose our hair!
Always add pointer controls to a point and click game!
The touchscreen is amazing, BUT:
I love playing these games with a friend, so to me a pointer controls are even better. You could even give own cursors to each player.
Reminds me of Grim Fandango; their devs should bring it to Switch.
I like P&C's but need to know more about it.
Looks interesting and the kind of thing I'd like.
I found the use of capitalisation in the wording a bit annoying. not enough to put me off, but why do That?
Looks good
Sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye on this one.
I have the first episode on Steam. This is a very good p+c adventure game. A great addition to the Switch lineup.
I have episode one on Steam already. I think at this point I should just never buy anything on Steam and wait for the Switch version.
