Escape thriller There’s a Gun in the Office out on Nintendo Switch next week

Take It Studio has announced that in just a few days, it will publish There’s a Gun in the Office on Nintendo Switch. The game launches on May 5, 2025.

There’s a Gun in the Office was made by solo developer Maciej Dyjas. It’s a psychological escape thriller in which players will need to escape their kidnapper before time runs out.

A full breakdown can be found in the following overview:

You’ve been kidnapped. Locked in an apartment with no food, no help — and time is running out.

Your captors come back every day, and if they notice that you’ve moved or touched something, it could mean the end. You have just five days – Monday to Friday – to plan and carry out your escape.

Every move counts. Every detail matters. Can you outsmart your kidnappers before time runs out… or will you remain a prisoner forever?

Key Features

• A Single Location, Packed With Tension: Set mainly in one apartment, the game creates pressure through silence, detail, and the constant threat of discovery.
• Hide Every Trace of Your Actions: Investigate freely — but leave no evidence behind. Anything you touch must be returned to its place before the day ends.
• Minimal Controls, Maximum Stakes: No weapons. No combat. Just strategy, observation, and survival instinct.
• Open-Ended Puzzle Solving: You decide how and when to act. The game offers multiple solutions — and no hand-holding.

This is not a horror game in the traditional sense — it’s a psychological test of memory, planning, and subtle deduction. With no dialogue, no combat, and no distractions, the game focuses on the quiet intensity of trying to escape when everything is against you.
