Minimol Games has confirmed that its cosy noir puzzle-adventure Case Solved: The London Files is in development for Nintendo Switch, with a digital launch planned on the Nintendo eShop worldwide in Summer 2026.
The title positions itself as a methodical detective experience set against a hand-drawn London, combining logic puzzles with a relaxed, jazz-inflected atmosphere.
Set amid a string of mysterious murders across London, the game places players in the role of a hard-boiled investigator enlisted by Scotland Yard.
Players are expected to interrogate suspects, examine witness statements and hunt for inconsistencies as they work through three handcrafted investigations.
The developer emphasizes methodical deduction over trial-and-error play, presenting closed logic puzzles that require players to cross-reference testimony and uncover hidden clues.
In a press statement, Minimol Games explained that the game rewards careful analysis rather than brute force, noting that players will need to interrogate witnesses, collect statements and probe inconsistencies to piece together the truth.
The studio also highlighted that, despite the pressure of the cases, the overall pace is intended to be calm and contemplative: players can progress at their own speed while enjoying subdued lighting, hand-drawn scenes and a gentle jazz soundtrack.
Key features confirmed by the developer include:
- Think like a detective: Closed logic puzzles that rely on analysing witness statements and identifying contradictions.
- London’s mysterious underbelly: Three distinct cases set in iconic locations around London, each with unique suspects and twists.
- Cosy noir atmosphere: Hand-drawn visuals paired with a smooth, jazzy score and a relaxed gameplay tempo.
Case Solved: The London Files will be distributed digitally via the Nintendo eShop, making it accessible to Nintendo Switch owners worldwide during Summer 2026.
The announcement focuses on core design pillars—investigation, deduction and atmosphere—without committing to a specific day within the summer window.
For Switch players who follow Nintendo Direct updates or regularly check the eShop for indie and narrative-driven titles, Case Solved: The London Files represents a stylistic, logic-driven alternative to action-heavy mysteries.
Minimol Games' emphasis on hand-crafted investigations and a soft noir aesthetic is now officially set for the Nintendo Switch platform in Summer 2026.
