Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved is a new command-select adventure / visual novel from American independent developer Armonica, in the style of classic Japanese adventure games like Famicom Detective Club, Hotel Dusk, and Ace Attorney. Players will lead an investigation on a cross-country train, interrogate a cast of colorful characters, and uncover a dramatic story about a mysterious missing woman.

Previously announced for PC (Steam), we are thrilled to announce that Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved is now also in development for Nintendo Switch, targeting a 2025 release!

The main features of the game are as follows:

• A dramatic and moving story, inspired by hard-boiled crime fiction, classic cinema, and other classic adventure games.
• Classic command-select gameplay, designed to maximize player experimentation and deduction while minimizing the need to brute force solutions.
• A unique mixed-media art style, combining highly expressive 2D pixel art portraits, old-school pre-rendered 3D backgrounds, and traditional illustrations.
• A colorful cast of characters to converse with, with many unique interactions and optional dialogue that rewards exploration and curiosity.
• Lavish original soundtrack in various musical styles, featuring many live instrument performances.

More news about the upcoming Switch release will come at a later date. Interested
