Daedalic Entertainment and indie dev Kong Orange have revealed that Felix The Reaper will be finding its groove on a Switch near you next month. A 17th October release date has now been confirmed.

The game is a 3D puzzler and romantic comedy in which players alter events to end the lives of humans as ordered by the Ministry of Death. Protagonist Felix can only move in the shadows, but it just so happens that he can change the direction of the sun and move objects to create safe routes through the increasingly devilish scenarios at hand.
