Cocodrolo Games has officially announced that Clue: Murder by Death, a narrative-driven murder mystery game, will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch with a digital release on February 13, 2026.
This marks a significant step for the studio as they bring their unique take on classic detective stories to Nintendo’s popular hybrid platform, promising an immersive experience for fans of mystery adventures. Set within the opulent backdrop of a 1930s English mansion, Clue: Murder by Death invites players to investigate the sudden death of Lord Robert Anderson.
The player assumes the role of a detective called to the scene, racing against time to solve the case before Scotland Yard takes over.
Paying tribute to the narrative styles of renowned British authors Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, the game challenges players to interrogate a cast of colorful suspects, unravel hidden motives, and solve intricate puzzles to reveal the truth. According to Cocodrolo Games, each session of Clue: Murder by Death unfolds over a recurring two-hour gameplay loop, culminating in an accusation against one of ten suspects.
Each cycle presents new clues, contradictions, and character insights, offering approximately 22 hours of gameplay to those seeking to uncover all the mansion’s secrets.
The replayability comes from the game’s innovative perspective system: players can experience the story through the eyes of different characters, each bringing unique personal biases, relationships, and insights to their observations.
What one character may find suspicious, another might consider innocuous, meaning the path to the truth is never straightforward. Players will explore 166 meticulously designed rooms, searching for hidden clues, interrogating suspects, and exposing inconsistencies in alibis and testimonies.
Cocodrolo Games has emphasized that only through multiple playthroughs, each from a distinctive point of view, can the true sequence of events on that fog-shrouded night be pieced together.
The dynamic storytelling ensures that the narrative feels fresh and engaging, regardless of how many times players return to the mansion. In a statement provided by the development team, they highlighted their dedication to "delivering an authentic murder mystery experience rooted in British literary tradition while harnessing the interactive possibilities of the Nintendo Switch." The game will launch exclusively as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop. Clue: Murder by Death is set to offer Nintendo Switch players a richly detailed and captivating whodunit when it arrives on February 13, 2026.
