From Press Release:
FRANCE (June 10, 2026) – Point-and-stretch your way through an entire development pipeline and try to find a missing character whose absence has led to bugs and review bombing… sound like a tough task? Well, it’s no match for the legendary Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in Crushed in Time, the spin-off to the 1 million+ selling There is no Game, available now on PC. Crushed in Time will be launching on Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android later this year: https://store.steampowered.
Today’s launch trailer gives you a look at the world’s greatest detective duo as they fly through time and cascade through the game’s development pipeline to point-and-stretch their way to rescue Emma, a misplaced NPC. Clinging onto the side of a moving train will be the LEAST of their concerns in this journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Visit various stages of game production and go behind the scenes of development with this meta-adventure featuring totally “elastic” gameplay and a fully voiced cast. An adventure this quirky features matching eclectic visuals – an inviting cartoon art style awaits as players explore the vibrant 2D world of a game’s development… or is it 3D? Just what is a “polygon” anyway? Why are things so stretchy here?
Think like a detective and use the, erm…unusual… tools provided to progress through time and crack this case, including an irreverent twist on the point-and-click genre that lets players manipulate objects and the environment through more than just clicks. Interact with objects and characters by pushing, pulling, stretching and yoinking rather than simply clicking, adding a layer of experimentation and interest on top of the genre’s brain-teasing mechanics and touching narratives surrounding the characters. With unconventional problems that require even more unconventional solutions, Crushed in Time will leave players with a world begging to be toyed with in new and inventive ways.
Crushed in Time is available now on PC and will be coming to iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch later in 2026. For more information, visit https://drawmeapixel.com/.
