Chinatown Detective Agency is getting a sizeable free prologue

Three cases coming to Steam next month.

Promising adventure game Chinatown Detective Agency is getting a generous free prologue on Steam next month.

Day One will comprise three full cases of Carmen Sandiego-style investigating and be available to download from Steam on 30th September.

It's a neat idea for a free trial, designed to introduce main character Amira Darma - a private investigator in Singapore who discovers a global conspiracy.

Our Chris Tapsell got a good look at Chinatown Detective Agency back in April, and came away impressed. It's "a stylish, promising point-and-click sleuther," he wrote.

The full game will arrive in 2021 on PC, Mac and Nintendo Switch.
