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.
