If you are a fan of retro aesthetics, creeping suspense, and the golden age of 90s point-and-click gaming, you are in for a treat this summer. Publisher DevilishGames and developer Making Enemies have officially announced that their atmospheric indie hit, Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence, is breaking its PC boundaries and heading to major consoles on July 3.

Whether you play on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S, you will soon be able to dive into this bite-sized psychological mystery from the comfort of your couch.

Check out what to expect from this haunting narrative journey below!

Uncover the Secrets of a Silent Abbey

In this first instalment of the Scholar Adventure series, players step into the shoes of William, a young and impulsively curious writer desperate for a brilliant premise to launch his debut novel. His quest for literary inspiration leads him to a secluded, rocky island housing a remote monastery.

Once a place filled with beautiful songs of worship, the abbey has been plunged into total hush after its former abbot went mad and imposed a strict, absolute vow of silence on all the monks. What starts as a peaceful retreat for William quickly spirals into a dark, unsettling investigation. Within these cold stone walls lies a deeply buried secret—one that was never meant to be uncovered.

Retro Vibes and Dark Humour

Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence is a love letter to the classic graphic adventures of the 1990s. The game beautifully blends:

• Atmospheric Pixel Art: Detailed, gloomy environments that perfectly capture a sense of isolation and dread under a full moon.
• Intricate Soundscapes: A solemn, orchestral soundtrack composed by Antonio Vozmediano that fills the void of the unvoiced characters.
• Classic Gameplay: A sleek, intuitive one-click interface featuring environmental and inventory-based puzzles, complete with a unique “ear” icon to listen in on the abbey’s hidden echoes.
• Focused Storytelling: With a tight runtime of roughly 1 to 3 hours, it delivers a punchy, highly immersive narrative experience with touches of black humour and multiple endings.

Available for Pre-order and Wishlist Now!

Following its initial successful launch on Steam, the team is thrilled to bring this eerie short story to a wider audience, laying down the groundwork for future entries in the Scholar Adventure universe.

The countdown to July 3 is on! You can already wishlist the game right now on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop, or lock in your pre-order via the Microsoft Store. Will you break the vow of silence to find the truth?
