Humble Games Set To Publish Chinatown Detective Agency
Humble Games announced this week they've partnered with General Interactive Co. to publish Chinatown Detective Agency for PC. The game has been in development for over two years now, as the team took inspiration from the Carmen Sandiego franchise to create this mystery-solving title where you'll be globetrotting as an investigator operating out of Chinatown to solve cases of danger and intrigue. While no official release date has been set, the game will be published sometime in 2022 on both the Humble Store and on Steam.

Singapore stands as a last refuge of order but even here the government struggles on the brink of chaos. Private detectives are now the first call for those citizens able to afford a semblance of justice. That's where you come in.
