July 15th, 2025 - The critically acclaimed Staffer Case: A Supernatural Mystery Adventure is now available on Switch, bringing its clever puzzles, charismatic cast, and crime-solving action to a wider audience. Developed by Team Tetrapod and set in a stylized 1960s London, the game drops players into a world where telekinesis, ice manipulation, and pyrokinesis turn every investigation into a mind-bending challenge.
Superpowered Sleuthing
Take on the role of Notrick "Note" a non-powered detective from New Mexico. While working with no supernatural abilities yourself, your team is anything but ordinary:
-
Thena - A human lie detector who listens to heartbeats to expose deceit.
-
Bryan - An analyst who timestamps physical evidence with uncanny accuracy.
-
Redfins - An agent who can read the memories of inanimate objects, revealing hidden truths.
Cross-reference alibis, spot inconsistencies in heart-rate patterns, and piece together forensic evidence to crack seemingly impossible cases.
Twisty, Tactile Investigations
Solve five main cases (and two bonus stories) involving gruesome superpowered crimes, from vertically bisected victims to circus murders. Each investigation unfolds through logic-driven puzzles with branching outcomes, but be prepared to face consequences should your deductions falter.
Dive into “Staffer Reborn,” a standalone spin-off that explores the chilling themes of an immortality paradox, now included with the base game.
Reviewers Rave:
"Staffer Case subverts detective-game clichés with supernatural flair. Combining clues feels brilliantly satisfying -like outsmarting the game itself!" - SwitchPlanet
"The characters’ banter over stale coffee and tea had me hooked. It’s Phoenix Wright meets Hotel Dusk, but with ice-wielding clowns!" - SwitchUp
"I actually was surprised by how much I enjoyed this game because I'm not usually super into dialogue-heavy games. Yet the writing here actually captured me. I really like the characters, the story, as well as the puzzle solving" - GameXplain
Developer Note:
"We wanted a detective game where powers complicate crimes instead of solving them. Notrick’s team balances supernatural skills with human intuition - because sometimes, the truth needs a mundane mind to see the bigger picture." - Team Tetrapod
