3DS eShop

Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst is due out on the North American 3DS eShop next week, a listing on Nintendo’s website confirms.

Here’s an official overview of the title:

Dozens of puzzles to solve. Thousands of unique items to find. Rumors surrounding the history of stately Ravenhearst Manor have circulated for decades. The recently acquired diary of Emma Ravenhearst may hold the key to unraveling the tale behind this unsettling place, yet the pages are missing. Players assume the role of Master Detective to unlock secrets held within Ravenhearst™, scouring a myriad of enchanting rooms in the manor for cleverly hidden clues. Locating and assembling diary pages helps tell the story of the house and, ultimately, unlock the mystery.

Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst will be available on April 3. No word on pricing at this time.
