Round Up Every Switch 1 & 2 Announcement From Summer Game Fest's Weekend Showcases
Stacked showcases
The big weekend of Summer Game Fest 2026 is behind us, and it sure was a stacked one. While showcases and streams were gradually trickling out over the last week, this weekend was when most of the biggies came out to play, many of which came loaded with their fair share of Switch news. To make sure that you don't miss anything...
About The Game
In the pitch-black waters beyond a long-abandoned fishing town, the enigmatic Captain Magnus Mortuga (rumoured to be everything from an immortal time-traveller to a cursed vampire) has been found dead within his submarine.
His body lies alone inside a locked room, marked by a single fatal wound, yet no weapon can be found. At the centre of the chamber sits an ancient, barnacle-covered cauldron with a heavy metal lid; recently opened, its interior eerily empty except for deep, unexplained scratches.
Summoned by the mysterious Captain Seafoam, players step into the shoes of Detective Grimoire and his sharp-tongued partner Sally to unravel the truth. Armed with little more than a cryptic letter and two photographs, they are drawn aboard the world’s strangest submarine and into a mystery that defies logic.
The Mermaid Mask builds on the acclaimed formula of Tangle Tower, blending clever puzzle-solving with sharp writing and a richly stylised world. Players will:
-
Investigate an impossible locked-room murder
-
Explore a sprawling, hand-crafted submarine filled with secrets
-
Interrogate a cast of eccentric, fully voice-acted suspects
-
Find and piece together clues to uncover motive, means, and opportunity
-
Experience satisfying “aha!” moments through layered puzzle design
Balancing dark themes with light-hearted British humour, the game delivers a cozy-creepy experience that has become a signature of SFB Games.
