Publisher PQube and developer Denki have announced Sniper Dan, a family-friendly 3D hidden object game launching on September 17 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. A physical edition will also be available for PlayStation 5.

Rather than eliminating enemies, Sniper Dan challenges players to solve everyday problems using a sniper rifle. Players take on the role of handyman Dan, whose remarkable aim is used to repair broken machinery, fix leaking pipes, stop mischievous animals, and help the residents of Clumsy County through a series of lighthearted missions.

Each level presents a colorful 3D environment packed with visual jokes, hidden interactions, and environmental puzzles. You must carefully examine each scene, identify what has gone wrong, and solve the problem with a single well-placed shot. Every mission acts as a small mystery, encouraging observation rather than quick reflexes.

Outside of missions, players can upgrade Dan’s rifle, decorate their office, and expand their repair business by earning money and reputation. Additional modes, including Time Attack, Ammo Hunt, and Snapshot Mode, provide extra challenges beyond the main campaign.

According to the developers, the game features hundreds of humorous jobs spread across lively locations, with dynamic solutions that change between playthroughs to encourage replayability.
