Indie developer Armonica has announced Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved is adding a Switch port to its main release.

Their new retro game inspired by classic Japanese adventure titles will launch for Switch alongside its previously announced PC (via Steam) version sometime in 2025.

To celebrate the news, a playable demo for the retro adventure game is now available on its Steam page.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer for the Switch port:

Following the grisly murder of a man in an unassuming hotel, a woman vanishes without a trace while traveling on a cross-country train. The catch? Nobody on board remembers her ever existing in the first place – nobody, except for you.

Can you solve the mystery of the missing woman before the end of your trip abroad?
