The latest Indie World Showcase has brought good news for Switch 2 owners, as The Midnight Walk is making its way to Nintendo’s portable powerhouse later this month. A new trailer showcases the game’s excellent visuals, revealing that it will be available on March 26th.
If you didn’t know about this one, it involves bringing light to a world where arts and crafts once thrived before the sun’s disappearance caused a lot of problems. You step into the shoes of The Burnt One, who is accompanied by an absolutely adorable candle called Potboy, on a quest to bring light to the world by scaling Moon Mountain without succumbing to all of the dangers you find along the way.
Gameplay-wise, you’re going to be interested to know that there’s no traditional combat system, and that you’re going to have to rely on innate flame and matchsticks to get by, while closing your eyes lets your other senses point you in the right direction. If that wasn’t innovative enough for you, most of the character models you see are 3D scans of handcrafted clay models, making this one a visual treat as well as a fairly challenging experience.
We were quite happy with its original release, and see no reason why the Switch 2 version should be any different. You’ll probably agree with us once you check out the trailer below.
