DevilishGames and Making Enemies have officially revealed their latest collaboration, "Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence," a narrative-driven point-and-click adventure coming to Nintendo Switch.
The announcement introduces the inaugural chapter in the Scholar Adventure series, set to release digitally via the Nintendo eShop worldwide in the first half of 2026. Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence invites players into the shoes of William, a budding author seeking inspiration for his debut work.
His journey leads him to a remote abbey, inhabited by monks strictly devoted to a vow of silence.
What begins as a quest for creative motivation quickly transforms into an unsettling mystery, as the protagonist uncovers long-buried secrets hidden within the ancient stone walls of the abbey. The title pays homage to classic 1990s graphic adventures, blending atmospheric, darkly detailed pixel art with a storyline infused with biting humor and intrigue.
In an official statement, the developers emphasize that the game "fuses vintage graphic adventure design with a narrative that brims with dark wit," setting the stage for a unique player experience.
Over the course of a two-to-three-hour adventure, players are tasked with exploring mysterious environments, solving inventive puzzles, and manipulating items to uncover the enigmatic truths the abbey conceals. DevilishGames, known for their diverse portfolio of indie projects and innovative visual style, partners with Making Enemies in creating this distinct entry for the Nintendo Switch.
The decision to bring Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence to Nintendo's hybrid platform highlights the continued popularity of narrative-driven adventures and retro-inspired indie titles within the Switch's expansive library. With its digital release targeted for the Nintendo eShop globally during the first half of 2026, Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence is poised to appeal to long-time fans of the point-and-click genre as well as newcomers intrigued by a fresh, artfully crafted mystery.
Both DevilishGames and Making Enemies have noted their enthusiasm for returning to classic adventure mechanics while delivering a modern storytelling experience. As further details and trailers emerge, players and industry watchers alike can anticipate a return to the golden age of point-and-click adventures, now reimagined for the current Nintendo Switch generation.
