Klabater has today announced that Apocalipsis: Harry at the End of the World is set to launch on Nintendo Switch just two days from now on 10th January.
The game is described as "an adventure game where medieval art comes alive to tell a timeless story of love, loss and sacrifice", and sees you play as the titular Harry as he ventures out into a strange, unwelcoming, and haunted land to find his lost love. On his journey, he'll meet fantastical creatures, straight from the visions of 15th and 16th-century artists such as Hans Holbein and Albrecht Dürer; the trailer above sets the tone nicely.
Switch players will benefit from the inclusion of the previously released DLC, 'One Night in the Woods' as standard. Check out the feature list and screenshots below for more info:
Features:
- Witness medieval art coming alive in a video game
- Meet creatures straight from the 15th century codices
- Hear Nergal’s dark voice telling you the story of Harry
- Experience a journey through the end times and see one of the available endings
- Visit over two dozen unique hand-drawn locations with puzzles to be solved and hidden meanings to be discovered
- Shake your spirit with the foreboding soundtrack inspired by the esthetic of Danse Macabre with an additional music from Behemoth hidden in the game
As noted above, the game launches on Switch this Thursday on 10th January.

Wow, the art style is really cool, but point & click games are not for me. I've never tried one that I was able to finish without getting board first.
@dkxcalibur Funny, I'm in the opposite boat. I love point and click games, but the art style is a turn-off for me. I get what they were going for, but it's so... brown.
Point-and-click "action"
I'm weird in that I'm craving more games in the same vein/style as Thimbleweed Park. I hate that the Monkey Island series is owned by Disney, which basically prevents it from moving forward in any way. In a perfect world, we would see the Monkey Island series, the Indiana Jones games (Fate of Atlantis, Last Crusade), The Adventures of Willy Beamish, Maniac Mansion, Zack McKracken, Space Quest, etc.
It's sad that so many point-and-click games have languished in obscurity.
I think it may be time for me to get a point and click game. I just hope if there is voice acting in the game it is done better then the trailer.
@PortablexombieV2 I recommend Thimbleweed Park! I contributed some writings to the library in that game.
At first I was turned off by the art style until I realized it was like a medieval artwork come to life... and then I read those exact words below the video lol. For that, I give it back cool points and am at least intrigued in it now. (If I can deal with the brown of Earthworms, I can deal with this lol)
@Mattiac I have to look into that game. Then I can tell people I know who wrote some of this stuff.
73 but it has some highs and lows. https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/apocalipsis
@BanjoPickles I agree with every single thing you say here!! Space quest was one of the first games I bought with my own money (the one with you having to cheat in a test and ride a floor cleaner... not sure what number that is) monkey island I have played through so many times but never get bored of it, miss these games so much!
@PortablexombieV2 How nice! One of my books is called "You play like a cow!".
