Hi! Could you recommend me some narrative-heavy 2D Switch games in the vein of:

• Sally Face
• Burnhouse Lane
• Lone Survivor
• Night in the woods
• Oxenfree (1 was great, 2 was meh)
• Fran Bow
• Detention

I would love to play Norco, but it's not available on Switch, unfortunately...
I adore Limbo and Inside (their copycat Little Nightmares is also decent), but they have zero dialogue, so it's kind of a different genre to me.
Little Misfortune is too childish (infantile?) and I'm not a fan of a constant voiceover.
I've tried Mutazione, but it was awful.
Kentucky Route Zero was great at the beginning, but last acts were such a bore...

I think Crow Country is on the switch

Signalis for sure

There's a good one coming out next month, called urban legend dissaloution centre a horror mystery game where you are part of an agency that hunts down urban legends you have to find out the root of the curse then try to break it. Japanese version has full english too i'm rather looking forward to it. From the playthrough of the steam demo the characters & scenarios are done pretty well. I love the 8bit artstyle on it.

Crow Country and Signalis are both 3D, and they are more of survival horrors with tank controls...? Not really what I'm looking for.

This upcoming Japanese game reminds me of this black & white, heavily dithered one... World of Horror, right? Did not click with me...

I started it as well but stopped because I wanted to focus on another game. Should go back, I think I was at the pool, game was kind of cool but just too much to read.

I would recommend The Coma: Recut and The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters although I haven't played the games OP mentioned so I can't compare. I have yet to play the third part, The Coma 2B: Catacomb. They have dialogue and background story which is interesting, but it's more of a hide & seek game.

So, in the end, I'm going to check the following games:

• Anglerfish
• Clock Tower: Rewind
• The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters

These ones also caught my attention - not strictly 2D story-driven games, but look great nonetheless:

• Inmost (a puzzle/platformer)
• Darkwood (top-down horror survival)

You could give red colony games a try, they're 2d horror and ahhh something to be sure

Don't know how many there are on switch, but look up the Corpse Party games.
