TV style FMV game Dark Nights with Poe and Munro launches on Nintendo Switch Today
Indie developer D’Avekki Studios is thrilled to announce the launch on Nintendo Switch today of supernatural Full Motion Video game Dark Nights with Poe and Munro.
The game sees players make decisions across six TV-style episodes for John ‘Poe’ Pope and Ellis Munro, a pair of radio hosts and secret lovers caught in the mysterious town of August. Players determine what happens next using disappearing touch-screen hotspots, which can be “frozen” in settings to remove the countdown effect and allow unlimited time to choose. Decisions can then be compared with those of other players via a stats screen at the end of each 20–30 minute episode.
Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is the third videogame release from the company but the first to have been published on all platforms by the studio itself, with iOS and Android versions in development.
“This launch means all three games in our FMV trilogy are now available on Switch, including The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, The Shapeshifting Detective, and now Dark Nights with Poe and Munro,” said D’Avekki Studios director Tim Cowles. “All three games are connected but they can be played in any order so players don’t have to worry which one they pick up first.”
Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is available for immediate download from the Nintendo eShop and Game Store priced £9.99 / $12.99 / €12.99.
