The Switch is about to play host to another point-and-click adventure in The Mystery of Woolley Mountain, but this is one of the craziest looking ones we've seen so far.
The game is described as "an otherworldly point-and-click adventure" which takes inspiration from the likes of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and The Trap Door. Players must join a gang of time-travelling audio scientists, embarking on a fantastical quest to save a group of children from a malevolent witch. As you can see from the trailer above, the whole thing is filled to the brim with comedic characters and dialogue.
As the game's press release is keen to point out, the point-and-click legend himself Ron Gilbert (Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, and more) actually pledged his support for the game on Kickstarter (which was actually funded some time ago). It's hard for a point-and-click adventure to get any better endorsement really...
The Mystery of Woolley Mountain is now scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch this Spring; if you can't wait until then, a demo has recently gone live on Steam.

looks very bertram fiddle
This looks positively insane!
Congrats to the Lightfoot Bros. on finally finishing this.
I love stuff like this. I'll definitely check this out if it reviews well.
The voice acting seems a bit iffy, but it certainly looks interesting.
I've never played The Trap Door, just had a quick look and sure enough it's based on the TV show!
Between this and Deponia, this spring will have no shortage of bizarre comedy point-and-clicking.
This looks briljant
@Jack_Goetz Agreed, the voice acting seems a bit off, but I'm willing to look past that if the game turns out well. I've been meaning to add some point-and-click goodness to my Switch library.
