Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 15

Crushed In Time is the latest point-and-click adventure from Draw Me A Pixel, the studio behind the Steam hit 'There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension'. The game launched on June 11 and carries a 'Very Positive' Steam rating from early reviews. A launch sale offered a 20% discount until June 25.

The core mechanic reworks the genre around stretch-and-release puzzles. Players grab objects, stretch them like rubber bands, and release them to solve puzzles. The narrative is meta: the game is set inside its own development studio, where Sherlock Holmes and Watson investigate a character's disappearance across prototype, alpha, and beta stages. The story also involves vanished characters and persistent review bombing.

Draw Me A Pixel released a free demo to let players test the new feel before committing. The game's meta framing and puzzle design build on the studio's prior work, though the stories do not detail how the new title compares to its predecessor beyond the shared developer and genre.
