Description
Take IT Studio! has officially announced that the escape thriller There’s A Gun In The Office will launch on Nintendo Switch globally via the Nintendo eShop on May 5, 2025.
Developed by solo creator Maciej Dyjas, this psychological thriller challenges players to outsmart their captors through stealth, strategy, and careful observation.
Set within the tense confines of a single apartment, players assume the role of a kidnapped individual given only five days to devise and execute a daring escape.
With no weapons at your disposal and no combat sequences in play, the focus is placed solely on tactical planning, memory, and subtle deduction.
Every movement in the apartment leaves a trace, so players are required not just to investigate their surroundings, but to meticulously restore any disturbed items before their captors return for their daily check.
If the kidnappers notice any sign of tampering, it could spell disaster.
The publisher emphasizes that There’s A Gun In The Office employs minimal controls and no traditional horror elements.
Instead, the experience is designed as a psychological test of the player's ability to plan, observe, and react under extreme pressure.
"Silence, detail, and the ever-present risk of discovery create an atmosphere thick with suspense," the publisher described.
Rather than offering linear solutions, the game employs open-ended puzzle mechanics, allowing players to choose how—and when—to make their move.
Every decision matters, underscoring the relentless stakes at play.
Key features outlined by Take IT Studio! include:
- A tightly focused setting within one detailed apartment that maximizes tension through environmental storytelling.
- Mechanics that require players to hide every trace of their actions, with any error potentially revealing their intentions to their captors.
- No traditional combat or weapons—exactly as the development team intended, this game is about survival through cunning and attention rather than brute force.
- Open-ended puzzle solving, giving players the freedom to try multiple strategies, with no dialogue or overt narrative interruptions to divert attention from the core escape gameplay.
There’s A Gun In The Office arrives on the Nintendo Switch eShop worldwide on May 5, 2025, with a subsequent launch across Asia on May 8, 2025.
This title represents a unique addition to the Nintendo Switch’s lineup of indie thrillers, showcasing how independent developers continue to push gameplay boundaries through innovative design and atmospheric storytelling.
Fans interested in strategic, narrative-driven experiences should look forward to experiencing Maciej Dyjas’s meticulous approach to psychological tension when the game launches next spring.
