Publisher PLAYISM has announced that text-based mystery game No Case Should Remain Unsolved will be coming to the Switch eShop on September 19.
If Emio hasn’t filled you with enough creepy mysteries for a year, this one will probably be right up your alley. No Case Should Remain Remain Unsolved will have you take on the role of retired Senior Inspector Jeon Gyeong, a detective called back to a missing persons case, 12 years after the mystery remains unsolved.
Developed by South Korean indie studio Somi, you’ll navigate the genre’s usual textual shenanigans, interviewing suspects to determine who’s telling the truth and who’s feeding you the piggies. There’s also an interesting-sounding puzzle mechanic, where you piece together memories to make sense of a scene.
It all sounds pretty creepy, no doubt aided by the monochrome pixel art display, but it was well received when it launched on Steam earlier this year, winning BitSummit Drift (Excellence in Game Design), BIC Festival (Excellence in Social Impact and Jury Prize) and A MAZE awards.
Here’s a quick rundown of the game’s features and check out some screenshots:
– Experience an imaginative deduction system where players connect memories like puzzle pieces.
– Discover codes, keys, 54 conversations and two hidden truths.
– Over the course of 2-3 hours of gameplay, players will learn why Seowon’s disappearance is the only case left unsolved by Jeon Gyeong.
– Also features an original soundtrack by Seongyi Yi, composer of Legal Dungeon and The Wake!
No Case Must Go Unsolved will be available from Change eShop next week for £8.99 / $9.99. A special 10% pre-launch discount is now available on all pre-orders, so you can save yourself some cash if you fancy this little mystery.
