Wise Monkey Entertainment has officially announced that its upcoming title, No Stone Unturned, is slated for release on the Nintendo Switch in 2026.
The announcement adds anticipation to the Nintendo eShop lineup, as the developer continues to build its reputation for crafting uniquely themed adventures. No Stone Unturned offers a refreshing blend of comedy and mystery, drawing inspiration from classic Agatha Christie murder investigations and the satirical humor found in British small-town comedies like Hot Fuzz.
This genre-blending approach sets it apart as an adventure that's both clever and lighthearted, set in a vibrant world of animal townsfolk facing unusual troubles. Players will take on the role of Detective Cox, a determined (and brilliantly quirky) squirrel with aspirations of becoming the world's greatest detective.
The game opens with Cox uncovering the body of a chicken under mysterious circumstances, pushing players directly into a lighthearted yet intriguing caper.
According to statements from Wise Monkey Entertainment, No Stone Unturned features a series of crime-solving minigames and mysteries, as Cox attempts to unravel six challenging cases plaguing his small village. As described by the studio, the gameplay revolves around classic detective work—analyzing crime scenes, gathering clues, interrogating eccentric townsfolk, and piecing together evidence with the help of key tools such as a magnifying glass, tape recorder, and a trusty crowbar.
The game also challenges players to repair village infrastructure and unlock new areas, emphasizing both puzzle-solving and resourcefulness in uncovering vital clues behind each crime. Wise Monkey Entertainment's creative approach is evident in the colorful cast of animal suspects and the intricacies of village life, inviting players to engage with a world filled with humor and intrigue.
The developer highlights that players will encounter familiar tropes twisted with wit—like the ongoing feud between the Hare and the Tortoise, along with mysterious figures such as a giant owl whose silence may hold secrets to the unfolding cases. No Stone Unturned continues the Nintendo Switch’s tradition of supporting innovative indie titles.
While a specific release date has yet to be revealed, the 2026 launch window is confirmed.
The game promises to delight fans of detective stories and comedy adventures alike.
Players eager for more details can expect ongoing updates as development progresses and additional Switch announcements are made. Stay tuned to Nintendo Direct and the eShop for the latest news on No Stone Unturned and other highly anticipated Nintendo Switch games.
