Unravel the Conspiracy at the Heart of Chinatown Detective Agency

You can find the streets of Singapore in neon light 2037 Chinatown Detective Agency — the brand-new cybernoir graphic adventure releasing today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and with Game Pass — every character you meet is a potential lead. Every conversation can be a clue. Each piece of trivial information that you come across can be the clue to a large-scale global conspiracy.

Cybernoir Street Streets are in a difficult time

The Singapore-based General Interactive Co. developed the game and Humble Games published it. Chinatown Detective Agency casts you as Amira Darma, a former INTERPOL agent who’s recently set off on her own as a private investigator in the heart of Chinatown.

Amira lives in a pixel art cybernoir futurity filled with darkness, blinding lights and mysterious characters. The global economy is in shambles, and Amira’s first focus — like most other denizens of this world on the brink — is on making the money she needs to scrape by. What started out as a simple job, soon leads Amira to other parts of the globe in pursuit of something greater than she could ever imagine.

Research from the Real World to Crack Key Cases

One of Chinatown Detective Agency’s big gameplay hooks is that sometimes, when the clues run dry in Amira’s world, you’ll need to rely on real research in our own. In the era of the internet, that might mean looking up an airport code online to discover a character’s probable destination, or searching for the source of a quote today to lead you to answers in 2037 Singapore. You’ll need to be attentive, resourceful, and smart to succeed as a player — just like Amira in her own world.
