Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

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 5 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!”

About This Game

Hello There Detectives...

I'd give you a long convoluted backstory... but it's simple. We got a Murder Mystery on our hands, and one question:

What was he running from? Who, or what, stopped him? Did the chicken really come before the egg? If so... How?!

Okay, maybe there's more than one question... But Detective Cox needs answers like a walrus needs a vacation (a lot)

And he needs YOUR help! 

Solve 'A Murder Most Fowl' and 5 more Classic Cases!

Learn why The Hare and the Tortoise are at each other's throats, what's got the Cat's tongue, and hoo tried to silence the watchful giant owl...? (Ya know... Hoo. Like an owl) all based on fairy tales or children's stories with a delightfully dark twist! 

Stepping into the well-worn shoes of Detective Cox, a soft-boiled amnesiac squirrel, get to the bottom of this murder the only way you know how — through a series of seemingly pointless yet surprisingly fun mini-games!

A HUGE Variety of Nostalgic Mini-Games!

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?...

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.

Search Suspect Homes to Find Clues... At Your Own Risk...

DRAW to Conclusions as you Find Key Pieces of Evidence!

Help Detective Cox piece together the mystery of Orchard Under Hill by completing a wide variety of familiar mini-games that not only help you solve the mysteries in town, but also act as payoffs for their own punchlines!

Crack the Case Wide Open Like an Egg! A CHICKEN EGG?! It's all adding up...

Detective Cox is set on becoming the Greatest Detective in the World! Help him search for clues, solve puzzles, and learn about this story-rich world of troubled animals as they all try to survive in a civilisation on the brink of crisis. Speaking of troubled animals...

Something big is happening to 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!

No Stone Unturned features references and depictions of violence including death, torture, and domestic abuse.
