No Stone Unturned heading to Nintendo Switch

Wise Monkey Entertainment is bringing its new project No Stone Unturned to Nintendo Switch, the developer has announced. We’ll be seeing it sometime in 2026.

No Stone Unturned is a comedy crime caper that mixes the murder mystery style of Agatha Christie with the British small town comedy of Hot Fuzz. The game features crime-solving minigames and mysteries to solve, beginning with hardboiled squirrel Detective Cox’s first case.

Here’s some additional information:

It was a dark and stormy morning when the soon-to-be Greatest Detective in the World, Detective Cox, stumbled upon the body of a chicken. (The body was dead, it was a dead body, the chicken was dead and this was his body, found by the Detective who is neither dead or a chicken.) This grisly discovery leaves him with just one question…

What was he running from? Who, or what, stopped him? And did the chicken really come before the egg? Okay, maybe there’s more than one question. But Cox needs answers like a walrus needs a vacation (a lot) – He needs your help (even though he’s incredibly smart, a truly world-class detective and could probably manage without your help, okay?!)

Learn why The Hare and the Tortoise are at each other throats, what’s got the Cat’s tongue, and hoo tried to silence the watchful giant owl…? (Ya know… Hoo. Like an owl)

Stepping into the well-worn shoes of Detective Cox, you must get to the bottom of this murder the only way you know how — through a series of seemingly pointless yet surprisingly fun mini-games!

Armed with your trusty Detective Essentials (a magnifying glass, tape recorder and crowbar – just in case), you must solve puzzles, analyse crime scenes, interrogate townsfolk and unturn stones to solve six gruesome crimes. Come to think of it, that’s a worrying number of crimes for one small village… Cox, are you sure you’re up to the task?

Broaden your horizons by repairing bridges, buildings and other repairs for this dilapidating town (no offence, its just… seen better days is all), completing item bundles to unlock new areas and uncover essential clues. I’m sure the answer to all of your problems lies just behind that fallen log… Right?

Play as Detective Cox, a squirrel set on becoming The Greatest Detective in the World! Help him search for clues, solve puzzles, and learn about this rich world of troubled animals as they all try to survive a civilisation on the brink of crisis. Speaking of troubled animals…

Something big is happening to this little village… Can you save the world before its too late? The Giant Wise Monkey in your dreams certainly seems to think so!
