Hauma – A Detective Noir Story Gets Switch Release Window

I love a good detective story. More specifically, the Noir aesthetic really hits the right note for me in terms of tone and theme for a detective story. Now, it seems that Assemble Entertainment and developer SenAm have plans for their Noir-themed visual novel, Hauma.

Hauma – A Detective Noir Story will be released on Nintendo Switch this summer. Utilizing a comic-book style, Hauma will let you unravel a conspiracy through the eyes of a former detective. Here’s what the press release had to say here:

“Hauma is a stylish detective noir that takes place in Munich, following Judith, a former detective forced out of retirement by a variety of suspicious events in the area. With a gorgeous, comic book-inspired visual style, you’ll explore real-world locations, such as the historic House of Art, while discovering pieces of hidden history that reveal information on the city’s past.

Immersed in the world of Bavaria’s capital, you’ll need to solve puzzles and riddles while putting together clues to make investigative deductions about Hauma’s intriguing narrative. Along the way, you’ll use the mindboard to aid you with your investigation, which functions like an inventory containing items and thoughts.

Hauma offers a rich, fully-voiced cinematic adventure, with a diverse cast of characters. Embark on a journey of deduction and intrigue and uncover the secrets of Munich’s society, piecing together the conspiracy that lies within when Hauma launches for Nintendo Switch this summer.”

If you haven’t played Hauma yet, the Nintendo Switch release might be the perfect time. A fully-voiced visual novel is never a bad thing, and with the general art style and aesthetic, I am very excited to see what Hauma is like on Switch this summer.
