In November 2026, the grim detective game Hillthorn will be released on Nintendo Switch. The project offers a unique gaming experience in which the entire story is told without a single spoken word.
Mysteries of a Dangerous Mountain
Players will set off through the labyrinths of Hillthorn's mountain trails in search of a missing child. Standing in the detective's way will be dangerous wild beasts and suspicious locals who are none too eager to share information with outsiders. Time is running out, and the number of clues is only growing.
Game Features:
- Card-based investigation system: every eerie plot detail is revealed exclusively through clue cards that can be investigated, studied, or interacted with.
- Wordless: the mystical plot unfolds without a single line of traditional dialogue.
- Value of time: every action takes precious time, nudging the player toward well-considered decisions.
- Multiple endings: your knowledge and choice of investigation path will determine the finale.
- Human-made: the developers note the complete absence of generative artificial intelligence in the game creation process.
The release of Hillthorn on the Nintendo Switch hybrid console is expected in November 2026.
