Yet another emotionally-driven platform game is being ported across to the Switch, with the developer of Pinstripe announcing via Twitter his game is “about a month” out from release.
The adventure by Thomas Brush – creator of the award-winning games Coma and Skinny – has you take control of Teddy, an estranged ex-minister who is forced to explore the frozen afterlife in search of his three-year-old daughter Bo, her perverse kidnapper and confront the demonic nemesis, Mr. Pinstripe.
In total, there are six levels of Hell to explore littered with interesting puzzles and bizarre beasts. There’s also voice acting, celebrity cameo performances and an immersive soundtrack by the game’s creator. It took Brush five years to develop and was originally released on PC in 2017 after being successfully funded on Kickstarter.
Take a look at the original trailer and let us know if this type of game on Switch would interest you.

That is a very beautiful game indeed.
Meh? This kind of game has been done to death, it feels like. Also really dislike the way the main guy moves, although that's just a personal aesthetic thing.
Ugh, another platformer...
I can't wait for this! I watched Game Grumps play a little bit of it a while back, and Ross does some voicework in it.
I'm always a sucker for Burton-esque aesthetics, too.
Looks very nice and it reviewed very well on Steam.
Story is a bit on the dark side though isn't it!
It's a solid game. Played it on Xbox One earlier this year.
Looks heavily influenced by Tim Burton's style of filmmaking. Could be good, but the sheer amount of Steam/Mobile ports the Switch is receiving versus dedicated third party titles is frustrating. I'd sure love to see original games designed specifically for the Switch hardware, like Zelda, that take full advantage of the platform.
Loving the music.
Jim Sterling was raving about it a while back, so Nintendo fan boys will hate it by default 😁
Looks wonderful!! I can totally play this. But I also wish there’s same amount of games with a brighter/upbeat theme.
@geordie even though I disagree with Sterling's opinions on Nintendo, I very much agree with him on the state of the gaming industry, micro-transactions, etc. You can share a lot of opinions with someone and still disagree with them about other things. Who would have thought, right?
That being said, I don't care if Sterling likes/dislikes this game. His opinions don't influence my own.
Art style is nice, the gameplay looks so dull though, and those floaty jumps are hideous.
@Spudworthy the funny thing is, Sterling is a huge Nintendo fan but just won't give them a free pass because they're Nintendo. Which I wholeheartedly endorse.
@geordie if he is, he hasn't really shown it except for praising Super Mario Odyssey. I only really know what he's said about loot boxes and how BAD publishers are, and his review of Breath of the Wild, which is the only review of his I find objectively bad.
Story's kind of dark, lol. Hope the gameplay is good.
Looks very nice. Definitely interested.
Beautiful! This will be a day one purchase for me. I love these sort of storybook stylised games. Throw in some interesting puzzles and I am hooked. A nice refreshing change from all of the shooters etc
Reminds me of jack skeleton
A game starring Earnest Greaves!
