Nintendo Switch owners and murder-mystery aficionados have a new conundrum to solve as "Clue: Murder by Death" launches today on the Switch eShop.
Developed by Cocodrolo Games in collaboration with Dolores Entertainment, this digital whodunit draws inspiration from classic British detective stories of the 1930s, while introducing playful, board game-inspired visuals that pay homage to iconic titles such as Cluedo and Monopoly. In "Clue: Murder by Death," players are immersed in a suspenseful narrative centered on the untimely demise of Lord Robert Anderson.
The challenge is clear and urgent: you have just two hours to unmask the culprit behind this high-society crime.
But the gameplay is more than a traditional detective experience.
Players alternate between the perspectives of multiple suspects, each offering a unique viewpoint on clues and events.
This mechanic provides fresh insight into the case and deepens the intrigue, as even mundane objects—like a vase—might be interpreted differently by each character. The game's mansion setting is impressively vast, comprising 166 rooms to uncover, ensuring that no single playthrough can reveal all its secrets.
Replay value is woven into the very fabric of the game, with each session allowing players to gradually piece together the mansion’s hidden mysteries in addition to solving the central murder case. Launching today on Nintendo Switch and other platforms, "Clue: Murder by Death" is available for £18.00 / $19.90 on the eShop, with a special 20% launch discount for UK customers until March 5.
The game’s arrival further enriches the Switch’s diverse library of narrative-driven titles, continuing the console's tradition of hosting engaging indie and puzzle games. According to a statement from Cocodrolo Games, the aim was to create a compelling homage to the golden era of British detective fiction while introducing innovative gameplay that leverages the interactivity of video games.
"Each character’s perspective changes the way you see both the clues and the story," the developers explained, highlighting how this approach encourages players to consider every angle in their quest for truth. With charming, stylized graphics and a compelling structure that invites repeated investigation, "Clue: Murder by Death" is poised to captivate devotees of Agatha Christie and modern mystery fans alike.
The title stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of detective adventures on the Nintendo Switch. "Clue: Murder by Death" is out now on the Nintendo Switch eShop, allowing players to begin their sleuthing immediately.
For those eager to test their deduction skills, the hunt for Lord Anderson’s murderer awaits.
