Wholesome Direct 2025: Ambroise Niflette & the Gleaned Bell

Developed and published by Topotes Studio, Ambroise Niflette & the Gleaned Bell is a charming detective game inspired by stop-motion, where players will step into the shoes of an adorable child and his imagination.

In this adventure, the Gleaned Bell has been stolen, and without it, the citizens of the village won't be able to celebrate their favourite festival because time is frozen. Detective Ambroise Niflette is, thankfully, on the case, so he'll get to the bottom of it in no time.

Here's what you can expect from Ambroise Niflette & the Gleaned Bell:

• A wholesome story about a kid and his imagination.
• Over 20 different characters to interact with (they're all toys!).
• A game inspired by stop-motion.
• A village to explore and get to know.
• A notebook to keep track of everything.
• The ability to gather evidence and testimonies.
• Puzzles to find inconsistencies in stories.
