Toby: The Secret Mine is a beautiful dark platformer fitting into the genre snugly next to Limbo and Badlands. It is played in the 2D side-scrolling style with dark shadow characters in contrast to engaging environments. You control Toby as he tries to rescue his fellow townsfolk from their kidnappers, solve different kinds of puzzles, navigate the dangerous world and try to save your friends!
Sound or look familiar? That’s probably because Toby: The Secret Mine enjoyed a 2015 release on Steam. It later came to Android and iOS in 2016, and Xbox One and WiiU in early 2017.
This little guy is back on our minds as developer Headup Games confirmed that Toby is coming to PS4, finally. So for us Sony gamers, we can look forward to getting to play this sweet dark adventure.
Look at him! Like a tiny batman without the angst. He’ll be hitting the PS Store on July 6th this year.
