Last month, Snipperclips developer SFB Games announced Tangle Tower for the Switch. The game's already out on Apple Arcade and you can play through it, thanks to the free trial, but unfortunately, Nintendo owners are going to have to wait just a little longer.

This thrilling murder-mystery adventure game, linked to the Detective Grimoire franchise, has been delayed on Switch and Steam due to "unavoidable" reasons not specified in the press release. The game was due out next week on 10th October and now anyone who has been looking forward to it will have to hold out until 22nd October.

If you enjoy interrogating suspects and solving unique puzzles, this might be the game for you. Here's some more information about the story itself, which takes place in a "strange and twisted" mansion, along with a trailer (see above):

Freya Fellow has been murdered. The lead suspect? A shadowy figure found looming over her body, wielding a knife. The problem? That suspect… is just a painting.

As noted in our original post, Tangle Tower also features a fully voiced and animated cast of characters, an original orchestral soundtrack and beautiful digitally painted environments to explore.
