As you'll know by now, Bulb Boy by Bulbware Games was supposed to launch on the Switch earlier last month, but got pushed on for unknown reasons. Good news, however, as the game'll be releasing in the Americas later this week.

If you're not familiar with it yet, Bulb Boy is a point-and-click game with serious creepy vibes. The aptly-named Bulb Boy wakes one night to find his Grandpa-raffin and Mothdog missing. It's up to you to help him survive the demons plaguing his home and save his family.

Where the Steam version lets you use a mouse and the mobile version lets you select things with your finger, the Switch version of Bulb Boy will work by mainly using the stick on the left Joy-Con. Apparently the Switch version will also be closer to the PC version, meaning slightly better graphics, nicer lighting, and deeper shadows.

Bulb Boy releases on the Switch this Thursday, July 6th, in North and South America. According to the developer, it'll be coming to other regions later this month.
