<p>Spooky Doorway is finally bringing Detective McQueen and Dooley&#8217;s 6 original cases to the Nintendo Switch on February 7th. <em>The Darkside Detective</em> is a classic point and click adventure game with an unusual sense of humor. It was originally released on PC, Mac, Linux, and Ouija boards in 2017. Writer Dave McCabe said:</p>
<p><em>“We&#8217;re really excited to bring The Darkside Detective to the Switch. To us, it’s a natural fit. We&#8217;ve designed the game to be played in short sessions and to us, the bus to work seems like a perfect place for some time with McQueen and Dooley.&#8221;</em></p>
