The studio Draw Me A Pixel has revealed the release date of its new project — the absurd comedy detective game Crushed In Time about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The game will be released on PC via Steam on June 10, 2026. Versions for Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android are also in development but will reach players later.
Behind the project are the creators of the hit There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, which at one time garnered 97% positive reviews on Steam based on more than 23 thousand reviews. Sherlock Holmes and Watson have already appeared there as episodic characters, and now they have received a full-fledged adventure.
According to the plot, right before the release of a new game about the famous detectives, one of the key characters mysteriously disappears, and the entire studio is gripped by panic. Holmes and Watson will have to go to the heart of game development, study every stage of development, and cross space-time boundaries to unravel the case.
The authors promise a classic, but significantly modernized point-and-click quest with "elastic" gameplay, where you need to grab, pull, and release environmental elements. The developers ironically note that players will need to use "up to three neurons" to solve the local puzzles, and also promise a ton of humor, jokes about bugs, and live voice acting recorded by real people "without GMOs and artificial additives".
