Press release:
JUNE 30TH, CRACOW, POLAND
The Kraków-based (Poland) indie games publisher Feardemic Games and indie games developer Koval Games, are today super happy and thrilled to announce that their retro-like pitch-black platformer”Dark Minute: Kira’s Adventure” is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop.

Hope you’re not afraid of the dark because you’re about to embark on a truly shadowy adventure to help Kira discover the forgotten secrets of humanity and all that from the comfort of your bed. Dark Minute is now on Switch, so keep your batteries charged, you’re going to experience the darkest minute of your life!

Feardemic, the game publisher where all horror comes home, has partnered up with KovalGames to bring another dark, scary title to your favorite handheld. You’ll accompany Kira on her exploration of over 100 shadowy levels of an ancient dungeon and platform your way through trap-laden stages to uncover the dark, forgotten secrets of humanity. The twist? After 60 seconds the lights go out, so you have to hurry and collect 3 power cells to unlock the exit. Did we mention that some levels are underwater mazes? Stay vigilant, you wouldn’t want the screen to go dark in those, now would you?
About Dark Minute: Kira’s Adventure:

Platform your way through a shadowy dungeon, grab the cells to unlock the exit, and rush out before the clock hits 1 minute and the lights go out. Welcome to the darkest minute of your life!

Step out of the shadow and set out on a dimly lit adventure with Kira in the pitch-black platformer, Dark Minute. Jump, dash, avoid spikes and run through the level to collect 3 energy cells and open the exit. You must be quick though – after 60 seconds the light goes out. Explore the dungeon of over 100 shadowy levels, navigate through underwater mazes, and piece together the alternative history of humanity in this dark tale with beautiful retro pixel-art graphics.

Discover the forgotten secret hidden in the underworld, and, whatever you do, don’t let the light go out.

FEATURES:

💡 Explore over 100 large, dimly-lit levels, including dungeons and underwater mazes.
💡 Find 3 energy cells to open the exit and make it to the end in 60 seconds, before the light goes out.
💡 Enjoy beautiful, retro-stylized pixel-art graphics.
