You will play as Eurico, the “Pizza Boy” from the title, and solve paranormal cases in the fantastic supernatural underworld of Lisbon with the help of a dedicated crack team and your mentor, the legendary occult detective Dog Mendonça. The game promises to feature beautiful hand-drawn graphics that mimic the style of the comics that it’s based on and abundance of interactivity.

Slated for release on March 4th for 19.99 euros, Dog Mendonça & Pizza Boy will make its way to PC, Mac and Linux.
