Two New FMV Games Are Coming To Switch nintendolife.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from nintendolife.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Can someone get the lights? 07/05/21 Dark Nights With Poe And Munro is an FMV game from D’Avekki Studios, continuing the team’s run of FMV games that include The Shapeshifting Detective and The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker. From that alone, you should know what you’re getting. The entire game is played out by a live action cast with the player making decisions at key moments in the story, choosing the path the story takes, and occasionally hammering one button very quickly to escape dire circumstances. Considering that most of what you do is sit and watch the six episodes occasionally press a button. Plenty of games have used the format before, Erica springs to mind, but if your interactions are limited to the odd button press then what is going on screen has to be compelling.

WISBECH, UK (6th APRIL 2021) Indie developer D’Avekki Studios is thrilled to announce critically-acclaimed FMV game Dark Nights with Poe and Munro will release on May 4th 2021 for PS4 and Xbox One, with backwards compatibility for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. A release date for the Switch version is still to be announced.
Dark Nights with Poe and Munro tasks players with keeping small-town radio hosts John ‘Poe’ Pope and Ellis Munro together and alive through six TV-like episodes of supernatural mystery. A standalone prequel to 2018’s The Shapeshifting Detective, Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is the third game from the studio but the first to be ported to consoles in-house. The game released on Steam in May 2020 to praise from players and reviewers alike and the studio hopes console players will take to it just as warmly.
