imaginarylab has announced that Whirlight: No Time To Trip is in development for Nintendo Switch.
Pitched as “a laugh-out-loud, time-travelling, point-and-click adventure that blends traditional genre staples with an eclectic mix of gameplay styles,” the developer has looked to pay homage to genre classics such as Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island.
Starting in the sixties, after a dream spurs eccentric yet genius inventor Hector to assemble a device made from components scattered across Venice Bay, he is hurled forward in time to the nineties.
Meeting a determined artist called Margaret, the pair set out on a quest through space and time to save the planet from global catastrophe.
“Whirlight will stand out in the point-and-click adventure genre by offering both a nostalgic nod to the past and a fresh, modern gaming experience,” explains imaginarylab co-founder Ciro Camera.
“We are incredibly excited to build on what we’ve learned from Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town and present players with unprecedented depth and diversity, be it in the form of visuals, gameplay, narrative, and more. Longtime point-and-click fans won’t be disappointed.”
Whirlight: No Time To Trip will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch in 2025.
