Sniper Dan heading to Nintendo Switch

PQube and Denki are making Sniper Dan for Nintendo Switch, the two sides shared today. They have yet to confirm launch timing.

Sniper Dan is a playful, problem-solving twist on the hidden object genre. According to PQube, the game is a “wholesome take on long-range precision, where the goal is not to defeat enemies but to solve everyday problems from a sensible distance.”

We have more information in the following overview:

Meet Dan. Dan has a sniper rifle. Don’t panic, he’s not here to harm anyone. Dan’s a professional and his job is fixing things. From a distance. With pinpoint accuracy and good intentions.

Sniper Dan is a hidden object game unlike any other. Objects aren’t always well hidden and the solution involves shooting them. Each job follows a simple and highly respected method.

Figure out the problem. Use the clues. HMM…
Find the problem. Scope the area. AHA!
Fix the problem. Shoot. WHEE!

You’re not hunting enemies. You’re hunting problems. Fixing rusty taps, machines behaving badly, and even stop a thieving Pelican. Travel far and wide across lively 3D locations packed with visual jokes and silly situations as you help those in need. Can Dan and his trusty tool get the job done?

Dan’s business takes him to villages, parks, farms, airports, cities, and beyond. Special challenges keep every day fresh. Take on optional work for extra cash, tackle bigger jobs for even bigger rewards, and uncover secrets that leave citizens quietly convinced something magical just happened.

It did. It was Dan!

Between contracts, upgrade your rifle, decorate your office hub, and grow your entirely legitimate troubleshooting business. Unlock bonus games and extra modes like Time Attack, Ammo Hunt, and Photo Mode, all under the judgmental eye of Rank Chook.

Funny, colorful, and sure to leave you wanting more, Sniper Dan is about finding what’s wrong, fixing it fast, and moving on to the next job.

Scope the problem. Take the shot. Make everyone happy.

Director Gary Penn said today: “We desperately need more silly games in the world. Sniper Dan exists because we wanted to mash together things that clearly don’t belong, to lean into joyful nonsense and share something that simply makes people laugh. It’s Where’s Waldo? colliding with Point Blank, fuelled by busy worlds, cartoon chaos and a deep love of normalised silliness. Finding a publisher that gets that has been an absolute win.”
