A Pet Shop After Dark comes to Nintendo Switch on November 12, 2026, a Thursday, as a digital release priced at US$ 9.99. The announcement was made on October 27, 2026 by Viridian Software, in collaboration with Npckc, and the game had previously been released on PC.
A night shift with a single rule
The game is a cute horror point-and-click adventure with a meta twist. The player takes on a seemingly simple job at a small pet shop: water the plants, feed the pets and stay the night. The rule that drives the game is straightforward: never, under any circumstances, turn off the lights.
The shop hides more than its routine suggests. There are invisible pets to feed, strange plants to water and a mysterious shop to explore, with puzzle elements woven through the point-and-click gameplay. The contrast between the cosy look and what happens after the lights go out is at the heart of the experience.
What changes on console
The Switch release is more than a port. According to Npckc, reworking the interactions for console controls made room for new content: new diary entries and new pieces of lore to uncover, so even players who have already visited the pet shop on PC will find something new.
A new trailer accompanies the console announcement. The digital release is set for November 12, 2026, at the announced price of US$ 9.99.
