Quintus and the Absent Truth

About

Wreck Tangle Games released this spooky adventure in 2020. You control Alan Shaw a man desperate to find his missing daughter. His only ally is Quintus a clever mouse with its own set of abilities. The pair navigate dimly lit spaces solving puzzles that require both of their skills. Environmental storytelling clues about the daughter’s fate are scattered in cryptic notes and strange symbols. Players often mention the uneasy tension of switching between perspectives. The mouse’s tiny camera angles contrast with Alan’s claustrophobic first-person view. Community chatter notes the game’s deliberate pacing and haunting atmosphere. It lives on Switch and PC but a 7.2 on Metacritic suggests mixed reactions to its slow-burn approach.
