Crushed in Time announced for Nintendo Switch, spin-off of There is No Game

Draw Me A Pixel today announced its next game, which is Crushed in Time. The title is planned for 2026.

Crushed in Time is a spin-off to There is No Game. It features a time-traveling meta-mystery that follows characters from the original title, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, as they search to find a missing character from their just-launched video game. 

We have more details in the following overview:

Visit various stages of game production and go behind the scenes of development with this meta-adventure inspired by Through the Looking Glass featuring totally “elastic” gameplay and a fully voiced VO cast. An adventure this quirky features matching eclectic visuals – an inviting cartoon art style awaits as players explore the vibrant 2D world of a game’s development… or is it 3D? Just what is a “polygon” anyway? Why are things so stretchy here?

Think like a detective and use the, erm…unusual…tools provided to progress through time and crack this case, including an irreverent twist on the point-and-click genre that lets players manipulate objects and the environment through more than just clicks. Interact with objects and characters by pushing, pulling, stretching and yoinking rather than simply clicking, adding a layer of experimentation and interest on top of the genre’s brain-teasing mechanics and touching narratives surrounding the characters. With unconventional problems that require even more unconventional solutions, Crushed in Time will leave players with a world begging to be toyed with in new and inventive ways.

Take a look at the first trailer below.
