Try Crushed in Time for free, then unlock the full game to continue your stretchy adventure! #Shboing The game is free to download and to start playing, with a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the full game. No ads and no other in-app purchases. Panic at the development studio! Just as the new Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson video game hit the market, one of its characters mysteriously went missing. After their memorable appearance in the non-game There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, our extravagant investigators are back in their own adventure. Armed with their iconic ineptitude, they must solve a mystery that transcends the space-time boundaries of their world… But they won’t succeed without your help! Travel to the very heart of the game's creation and explore the various stages of its development to unravel the threads of this strange case. Welcome to a wildly elastic and infinitely meta experience! • Rediscover Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, joined by a cast of new, endearing characters. • Dialogue recorded by real humans. All natural. Non-GMO and additive-free. • A completely meta story of time travel that will take you through the design stages of the game. • Chock-full of humor and surprises (and bugs, probably). • An offbeat point and click adventure offering fun and elastic gameplay. • Loads of puzzles that will require up to three neurons (we couldn’t keep up beyond that). • Beautiful 2D graphics. Sorry, I meant 3D… Hold on. Which one was it again?

FEATURES • Classic linear horror adventure • Cinematic 2.5D gameplay • Distinctive VHS-styled visuals • Dark, oppressive underwater atmosphere • Environmental puzzles and deadly traps • Dynamic and unpredictable events • Dangerous situations where quick reactions matter • A mysterious story hidden throughout the military base • Explore flooded corridors and abandoned facilities • Uncover the truth about your past and escape before it is too late The first five playable levels are available for free.
