Irish studio Spooky Doorway has revealed that the second season of the comedy point-and-click adventure, The Darkside Detective, is on its way to Switch.
Unsurprisingly called The Darkside Detective: Season 2, this game is a classic point-and-click adventure title with a distinct sense of humour. Season 1 came with six cases - with an extra three added post-launch - and Season 2 will follow suit with another six cases, each containing around 45 minutes of adventuring for you to get stuck into.
The developer is launching a Kickstarter campaign to support the project alongside this new announcement, aiming to generate €35,000 to help bring its vision to life. You can check out the campaign here if you're interested - it's set to last for 30 days from 12th September to 12th October and is naturally full to the brim with perks for those who pledge their support.
Did you play the first season on Switch when it arrived on the console earlier this year? Will this be your first time getting involved in the action? Tell us below.

Could someone tell me if it's worth it to buy this?
Ugh. Is it just me, or is everyone else getting tired of games with ugly 8 bit graphics? I understand the appreciation for old school pixel art, but it's getting too prevalent in indie games like this.
@Mykillvee
Didn't wait for the switch to be tired of all that pixel (rarely) art crap.
This trend has been carried by an 80s nostalgia probably because of a lack of good new games a few years ago.
Devs are just taking a p*ss not even trying to work on a nice design
@Mykillvee As someone who’s played the game, I think it looks quite nice
@krvstkvlt It's worthy. The game is really fun. The humor is really good and have fun references ro Lovecraft and Poe works too. I reccomend.
I found season 1 quite fun, so I might chip in.
@Mykillvee
I am
@Mykillvee These graphics are at least 32 Bit you realize. Probably 64 Bit, but that's neither here nor there, the point is you couldn't get anything like this prior to the GBA. I swear, half the people complaining weren't around during the actual 8-bit era. Pixelated graphics would be a better term if you want to be taken seriously.
@Rhaoulos
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean nobody else does. You're on the minority group there. Don't call the developers lazy for doing an art style you don't like. If you're tired of them because you think they're overused, then hyper realistic graphics are even more.
@Mykillvee not 8-bit
Virtualy no replay value, but nicely written... on sale, this one shouldn’t be missed for those whom enjoyed the scumm era...
I would have probably backed this but I’m not hanging on until 2020 for delivery.
God I wish these guys would release games like this on switch and 3ds. There is still a huge group of 3ds users
@link3710 I'm 43 years old, and I've been around since the early days of the Atari 2600, so I think I know a little bit about graphics, my friend. When most people think of 8 bit graphics, they always go back to the NES days, and this art style certainly borrows heavily from that era. I'm just talking about graphics, not sound design and the way the game plays. Pixel art is great when used properly in a game, but this one's down right ugly.
