Description
Take It Studio has officially announced that the psychological escape thriller 'There's a Gun in the Office' will launch digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop on May 5, 2025.
Developed solely by Maciej Dyjas, this tense puzzle adventure invites players to outwit their captors in a game where every detail could mean survival or failure.
'There's a Gun in the Office' places gamers in the role of a kidnapping victim confined to a single apartment.
With resources scarce and time ticking away, players have just five days—Monday through Friday—to devise and execute an escape plan.
The core challenge lies in moving stealthily and ensuring that any evidence of progress is meticulously concealed each day before the kidnappers return.
Slip-ups can quickly lead to dire consequences, as even the smallest disturbance might alert the captors.
Rather than relying on traditional horror or combat mechanics, this game is structured around open-ended puzzle solving, memory, and subtle deduction.
The developer crafted an environment packed with tension—a solitary location where silence, minimalism, and attention to detail heighten the atmosphere.
Each decision and interaction must be calculated, as the game offers no hand-holding or explicit hints, allowing for multiple potential solutions based on the player's ingenuity.
In a statement accompanying the announcement, the team at Take It Studio emphasized that "this is a psychological experience that rewards careful observation, planning, and survival instincts," noting the game's absence of dialogue, traditional horror tropes, or combat systems.
The focus is instead on strategic exploration, as players must hide all traces of their actions before each day ends to avoid detection.
'There's a Gun in the Office' will be available exclusively through the Nintendo Switch eShop, joining the platform's expanding library of unique indie experiences.
The title showcases not only Maciej Dyjas's skill as a solo developer but also reflects the continued growth and diversity of the Nintendo Switch's portfolio of narrative-driven games.
For those eager to experience the tension and challenge firsthand, an official trailer has been made available, offering an atmospheric glimpse into the apartment's confined drama and the dilemmas players will face.
