Happy Broccoli Games has announced that Apple Crumble will arrive on PC via Steam in 2026, bringing a short but tightly crafted mystery thriller from the creators of Duck Detective. The setup is deceptively cozy. It is your grandmother’s 84th birthday. The tea is warm. The guests are familiar. And someone in the house plans to stab the birthday girl before teatime.
A Childhood Home Full of Secrets
According to the game’s Steam page, Apple Crumble unfolds inside the house where you grew up. As you explore each room, you reconnect with a dysfunctional family whose quirks, tensions and buried resentments quickly turn the celebration into a pressure cooker. Trust becomes a luxury. Every conversation is a clue. And every relative is a potential threat.
A Fully Voiced Cast of Suspects
The investigation centers on a small but memorable lineup of characters, each fully voiced by professional actors:
- Your grandmother, beloved but possibly hiding more than she lets on
- Your stressed mother, stretched thin by the chaos
