Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair incoming for Nintendo Switch, nearly a decade after the original
Nearly a decade after Bulb Boy came to the system, we’re about to see the sequel on Nintendo Switch with Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair. A listing on the Nintendo eShop has it down for March 5, 2026.
Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair is a horror point-and-click adventure title. This time around, you’ll be sent to retrieve a jar of delicious, but the mission won’t be as easy as it seems.
Full details about this one can be found in the following overview:
Defeat monsters? Check. Save Bulbhouse? Check. Family complete? Check. Everything seems to be just fine… But not for long!
When Grandparaffine sends Bulb Boy to venture into the eerie depths of the basement in a search of a precious jar full of delicious jam, it quickly turns out that this mission will not be as easy as it might seem. And by saying that we don’t mean problems such as a missing key to the doors. We talk about navigating through the dark, shadowy corners of the cellar…
Oh, and about facing sticky jelly creatures and their spine-tingling boss that wants Bulb Boy’s head for his own. Yeah.
Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair is the sequel to the hit and award-winning indie game that combines point & click adventure with horror game. The original visual style of the game is inspired by 90’s cartoons and emphasizes the grotesqueness of the production, full of cute creatures and disgusting details, shown in close-ups.
Solving tricky puzzles and facing jelly monsters will slowly unfold a twisted story full of unpredictable twists and turns. And all this accompanied by original music and mind-scratching sound effects!
