French boutique development house Draw Me A Pixel today announced that Crushed in Time, the comedic point, stretch and click meta adventure spin-off of the 1 million+ selling There is No Game, will be launching on PC on June 10.
Today’s new trailer gives you an early look at the world’s greatest detective duo, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, as they fly through time and cascade through the game’s development pipeline as they fight to point-and-stretch their way to rescue Emma:

Visit various stages of game production and go behind the scenes of development with this meta-adventure featuring totally “elastic” gameplay and a fully voiced cast. An adventure this quirky features matching eclectic visuals – an inviting cartoon art style awaits as players explore the vibrant 2D world of a game’s development… or is it 3D? Just what is a “polygon” anyway? Why are things so stretchy here?
Think like a detective and use the, erm…unusual… tools provided to progress through time and crack this case, including an irreverent twist on the point-and-click genre that lets players manipulate objects and the environment through more than just clicks. Interact with objects and characters by pushing, pulling, stretching and yoinking rather than simply clicking, adding a layer of experimentation and interest on top of the genre’s brain-teasing mechanics and touching narratives surrounding the characters. With unconventional problems that require even more unconventional solutions, Crushed in Time will leave players with a world begging to be toyed with in new and inventive ways.
Crushed in Time launches on PC on June 10 and later this year on iOS, Android and Switch.
