In a fresh addition to the Nintendo Switch lineup, publishers PQube and developer Denki have officially announced Sniper Dan, a playful new entry in the hidden object genre.
While the game's precise release date has yet to be confirmed, today's reveal underscores both studios' ongoing commitment to delivering inventive and lighthearted experiences to the Nintendo Switch audience. Sniper Dan offers a distinct twist on classic hidden object gameplay.
Instead of searching for static objects alone, players embody Dan, a professional marksman whose mission is to tackle everyday problems from a thoughtful distance.
Rather than facing adversaries, players use Dan’s sharpshooting abilities to repair malfunctioning machinery, stop mischievous animals, and solve a host of community conundrums with pinpoint accuracy and good intentions. According to PQube, Sniper Dan is described as a “wholesome take on long-range precision,” emphasizing creativity and fun over competition.
The game features vibrant 3D environments—ranging from bustling cities and tranquil villages to lively parks and farms—each packed with visual humor and playful scenarios.
Players will travel across these locations, uncovering clues, identifying problems, and solving them, all while enjoying dynamic scenes filled with jokes and silly situations.
Every challenge comes with its own unique objectives and offers special side contracts, bonus rewards, and collectibles. The gameplay loop encourages players to examine their environment, find out what needs fixing, and use Dan’s trusty rifle to set things right.
Each job follows a straightforward method: analyze the problem, scan for clues, and execute the solution with precision.
Optional tasks and larger challenges offer increased rewards, while secret objectives provide added replay value for completionists. Customization plays a significant role in Sniper Dan.
Between contracts, players can upgrade Dan’s rifle, decorate the office hub, and expand their growing troubleshooting business.
Additional game modes—including Time Attack, Ammo Hunt, and a Photo Mode—offer diverse ways to engage with the charming world, as players strive to impress the ever-watchful Rank Chook. Denki’s director Gary Penn shared insight into the creative process, stating, “The world needs more lighthearted, silly games.
With Sniper Dan, our goal was to blend unexpected elements and create a joyful, comedic experience.
Collaborating with a publisher that appreciates our vision has truly been a highlight.” Sniper Dan’s announcement trailer provides a first look at the game’s colorful art style and jovial tone, hinting at the original approach Denki and PQube are bringing to the Nintendo Switch’s hidden object offerings.
The game will launch exclusively on the Nintendo eShop at a future date. For further updates, including official release timing and additional Nintendo Switch news, stay tuned to our dedicated Nintendo coverage.
