No Stone Unturned is a hilsarious murder mystery coming soon

Developer and publisher Wise Monkey Entertainment has announced its new upcoming video game, No Stone Unturned.

The hilarious murder mystery adventure tasks you with answering the all-important question: Why did the chicken cross the road? A question that requires you, squirrel Detective Cox, to uncover the truth behind the chicken’s murder using detective essentials like a magnifying glass, tape recorder, and crowbar to help you.

You’ll need to solve puzzles like drawing crime scenes as described by Detective Cox, analyse crime scenes, interrogate the animal townsfolk, repair the town of Orchard Under Hill, and solve five additional side cases on your journey, all while enjoying immersive UI elements and gorgeous, retro-inspired pixel art.
