Draw Me A Pixel studio has revealed the mobile release date of the Sherlock Holmes comedy adventure Crushed in Time. According to the game's page on the App Store, iPhone and iPad owners will be able to start an investigation on October 19, 2026.

The game is also announced for Android and Nintendo Switch, but the developers have not yet confirmed whether these versions will be released at the same time as iOS.

Crushed in Time follows the absurd adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson within the gaming industry. Shortly before the release of their new game, one of the characters mysteriously disappears, so the detectives have to study different stages of development, moving through space and time. The gameplay is based on the "grab, pull and release" mechanic: users interact with elements of the environment and solve puzzles.

The trailer gives us a sense of the zany adventures afoot:
