DevilishGames and Making Enemies have officially announced the upcoming release of Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence for the Nintendo Switch, with a launch window set for the first half of 2026.
As the inaugural entry in the Scholar Adventure saga, this point-and-click adventure game invites players to unravel a shadowy mystery within a silent abbey. Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence continues the legacy of classic narrative-driven games, echoing the atmosphere and gameplay style of the 1990s graphic adventure genre.
Players will take on the role of William, an aspiring young writer searching for inspiration for his first novel.
His creative journey leads him to an isolated abbey where the monks live under a strict vow of silence.
What initially appears to be a simple research trip for his literary ambitions soon transforms into a suspenseful quest as William uncovers a hidden secret lurking within the ancient walls—one that was meant to remain sealed. The development team leveraged PowerQuest, the engine behind popular indie successes like The Drifter, to bring Mystery of Silence to life.
The game is distinguished by its atmospheric, finely crafted pixel art, and rich narrative infused with dark humor.
Throughout the adventure, players will explore evocative locations, interact with enigmatic monks, solve innovative puzzles, and use unique items to unlock the abbey’s deepest mysteries. Mystery of Silence is designed for an engaging experience, offering an estimated gameplay duration of two to three hours—striking a balance between concise storytelling and immersive adventure.
These features are tailored to keep players captivated from the opening moments to the dramatic conclusion. In a joint statement, the developers emphasized their intent to broaden their audience: They are "dedicated to bringing the Scholar Adventure saga to console and mobile platforms, expanding the universe’s reach and setting the stage for future installments.” With its planned release on Nintendo Switch and other platforms, Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence is poised to provide fans of graphic adventures with a nostalgia-driven, story-rich journey.
