Headup Games has brought a lovely little collection of games to Switch over the past year and a half, publishing the likes of Runbow, Slime-san, The Inner World, Bridge Constructor Portal, and Earth Atlantis to name a few. Now, the studio has got in touch to share some of its best and biggest games launching this year, and four of them are coming to Switch.
Some of these have already previously been confirmed, but we now have updated release windows and information for each title. So, shall we?
Trüberbrook
Release: Mid-March
A highly-stylised graphic adventure arriving on all platforms, Trüberbrook comes complete with its very own 'Interrogation' trailer (which we've included below). The blurb sets the scene for this one:
"The past few weeks a lot has happened in our little Trüberbrook: Most of the villagers have been given their voices, all the houses, squares and secret science labs have been built and the team is about to go on a great journey..."
Windscape
Release: End of March
Described as being a Zelda-like game, Windscape has you playing as a young girl living on your parents’ farm, set in a "lovely world made up of floating islands in the sky". As you discover the world you learn that something has gone terribly wrong, however, with islands breaking apart and falling from the sky.
Dead End Job
Release: Q2 2019
Dead End Job is a twin-stick shooter that sees you take on the role of Hector Plasm, (an employee of a paranormal pest control company called 'Ghoul-B-Gone'). Your aim is to become the employee of the month, at which point you will be deemed ready to avenge the murder of an ex-coworker.
Silver Chains
Release: Q3 2019
The debut title from developer Cracked Heads Games, Silver Chains is a first-person horror coming to Switch a little later in the year, slightly after its Q2 release for PC. The game uses Unreal Engine 4 to bring to life the "hauntingly beautiful" interiors of an early 20th century English manor. This Victorian architecture is said to play its part in creating an eerie atmosphere throughout.
Do any of these games take your fancy? Will you be keeping an eye out for them as they arrive over the next few months? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

None of them i have interest about. 🙄
Dead End Job has that nice late 90s/early 2000s cartoon look to it. None of those games seem particularly enticing to me though.
Trüberbrook seems interesting.
Four games I'd never heard of before, delightful!
Trüberbrook looks really interesting with the real world miniature sets, and the cute-but-eerie setting of science, history, espionage, and the fear of the unknown. I'm hooked!
I fully support going with 3D characters instead of recordings of stop-motion marquettes, which is a real money-drain. But the 3D-approach does affords them a lot of animation leeway, that I'd like to see them utilize. This is all a little stiff looking and off-brand for the atmosphere right now. And we've certainly got much better animators here in northern Europe, than for something this promising to not be on point.
I'm surprised to find that I completely missed when the game was Kickstarted back in late 2017. While it was originally set to come out in 2018, it doesn't appear to have a new release date yet, so I hope they make it all it can be before releasing it to the world.
Silver chains. Watched without the sound on just now, looks potentially interesting. Normally I hate horror games but I feel I need to take another run at them, see if my palette has changed in recent years....
Windscape reminds me of that first-person Zelda that came out on the Xbox back in 2003.
Been following Trüberbrook since the Kickstarter. It promises to be something memorable and this trailer doesn't disappoint. I was also happy to see it available for preorder on some online retailers, so there'll be a physical edition! Very excited about this one!
Dead End Job has a nice Ghostbusters/Zombies Ate My Neighbor vibe to it. I’ll keep an eye out for that one.
Trüberbrook looks pretty cool.
