Scif-fi crime mystery puzzler Forest Grove announced for Switch

Publisher Blowfish Studios and developer Miga Games have announced that Forest Grove, a sci-fi crime mystery puzzler, is in the works for Switch. A release is currently scheduled for Q3 2022.

Here’s an overview of the project’s premise:

Tears stream down the face of Mary Kunstimatigaard as she recounts the mysterious disappearance of her teenage step-daughter. Forest Grove Police call in the Remote Forensic Bureau (RFB) to investigate where the tech-empire heiress went missing. Using revolutionary nano-technology, safely analyze the crime scene in a virtual space and bring answers to the surface.

Forest Grove will have players on the hunt for clues through a Nanodeck recreation of the Kunstimatigaard’s Victorian estate. Gameplay involves collecting evidence by deciphering puzzles around the home to unlock secrets and hidden rooms. Players can also examine audio and visual echoes of the past using Biotraces to see what transpired on that ill-fated day.

Going further into gameplay specifics, evidence can be added to the clue board to make connections, narrow down persons of interest, and crack the case. Investigation sessions end with the RFB higher-ups providing a performance grade.

A trailer for Forest Grove can be found below.

Forest Grove will be sold digitally for Switch via the eShop.
