Leaving Early Access: Q4 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are releasing each case of No Stone Unturned's story episodically. Allowing early access supporters a cheaper entry price and the ability to watch this world grow and develop into our full game (launching later in the year). Early Access also allows us to connect with our community over the course of development, catch bugs, discuss theories, get feedback and improve the game in ways the players truly care about!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“One year, as we build out open world exploration as well as our core case adventures. Players will not only see the story grow and develop, but the entire world will become more interactive, more story-rich and more... funny.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version we plan to release 3 major cases as well as all non-linear exploration, puzzles, mini-games and secrets in place to finally answer the question "Why did the chicken cross the road?". Our Early Access version will begin with our first full case and some of the non-linear components we're planning. And will be built up over 2026 to include more cases, characters and world to explore!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Players can experience 2+ hrs of absurd humour and detective work as they investigate a number of different locations around the world. Including 100% human-made artwork/animation, voice acting and more! This game concludes at the finale of our first case, allowing a lot of theorising and interpretation before the release of our next case.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes! Early Access players will enjoy a 33% discount from the full game's intended price. The "I was here before it was cool" discount. This price drop will remain fixed until we get to full release as a thank you to anyone who helps our small indie team continue doing what we love!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are actively sharing our behind-the-scenes progress and skits on our socials and our discord, where we will be engaging with theories, bug support & making future case reveals to our Discord Detective and Kickstarter Backers. Early Access will allow us to truly care for our audience and gather meaningful feedback to help us make the Greatest Detective Game IN THE WORLD!”

Can you figure out 'who-dunnit' yourself before Detective Cox / by the end of the game? Good luck!

Solve the Grand Mystery of 'A Murder Most Fowl' by solving 3 Classic Cases!

Learn why The Hare and the Tortoise are at each other's throats, what's got the Cat's tongue, and Who Really Killed the Chicken! Following absurd storylines based on fairy tales, jokes or children's stories with a delightfully dark twist that feels like a blend of Saturday morning cartoons and classic British sit-coms! 

Experience 20+ Mini-Game Types!

Help Cam the Beaver Repair the Town of Orchard-Under-Hill!

Broaden your horizons (and the literal map) by repairing bridges, buildings and other broken... things... for this village on the brink of ruin, completing item bundles to unlock new areas and uncover essential clues. I’m sure the answer to all of your problems lies just behind that fallen log… It must be so DAM good.

Help Detective Cox prove his theories by assembling a mob and bringing the killer to justice, just make sure you've got all the evidence you need first... It would be pretty embarrassing to gather the WHOLE village for a big reveal just for the whole thing to be a wild goose chase... right? (Could a wild goose have done it?...) Use clues you collect from crime scenes to prove characters wrong in climactic accusations! 

We put real effort into hiding as many stones as possible in the world so we can truly live up to the name, can you find all of the hidden stones and in-game achievements...? Good luck! 

Our Musical Numbers Are Sung By Characters In-World!

We put maximum effort into EVERY aspect of No Stone Unturned, which includes a 100% original soundtrack featuring talented singers and excellent compositions by composers Charlie Persson and Logan Hart.

Something Sinister This Way Comes...

Armed with your trusty Detective Essentials (a magnifying glass, tape recorder and crowbar - just in case), solve puzzles, analyse crime scenes, interrogate townsfolk and unturn stones to solve six gruesome crimes. Come to think of it, that’s a worrying number of crimes for one small village… Are you sure you’re up to the task?... Something big is happening in this little village... Can you save the entire world before it's too late? The Giant Wise Monkey in your dreams certainly seems to think so!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

No Stone Unturned features references and depictions of violence including death, torture, and domestic abuse. There is no glamourization of these events, they are intended to express the conflict of the characters and are purely there as a plot device. The player does not kill or directly hurt anybody.
