Evaluation
Chinatown Detective Agency: Day One was a free prologue released on October 2, 2020 for the full game Chinatown Detective Agency. The developer explicitly announced on March 14, 2022 that the prologue's Steam store page would be closed on March 16, 2022, as the full game was nearing release. The developer stated the prologue "showed an early version of the game" and directed players to the main game's store page going forward. The game is no longer purchasable (or in this case, downloadable for free) — it has been delisted from Steam, exactly as the developer announced. This was a deliberate and planned retirement of the prologue, not an abandonment. Players interested in this content should look to the full Chinatown Detective Agency release on its own Steam page.
Evidence
Developer announced the Day One prologue store page would be closing on March 16, 2022, ahead of the full game's release, directing players to the main Chinatown Detective Agency Steam page.
Game is no longer available for purchase or download — no purchase options exist on the store page, confirming the delisting the developer announced.

About this game
Day One is the prologue for Chinatown Detective Agency, a mystery adventure game inspired by the classic Carmen Sandiego series that will take you across Singapore and the world in hot pursuit of criminals, witnesses and clues.
I remember my first day at INTERPOL like it was yesterday. Now it was just me, my office and my very first case.
You’ll guide new PI Amira Darma through her first day in the detective business, managing your new agency, using real-world research to crack cases, and taking on one of three clients, each with their own story and secrets.
The world is in a state of flux as the global economy nears the nadir of its decade-long collapse. 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...
Rupert Zhou: The Fixer
Rupert was the go-to man for the city’s elite. Who knew what was hiding behind that implacable expression? One way or another, I was going to find out.
A park, a bench, a midnight rendezvous, Rupert had a flair for the dramatic. But his extensive connections could be useful to Amira...if she can prove herself reliable.
Tiger Lily: The Kingmaker
Well dressed, elegant...a society girl through and through. And that name: Tiger Lily. Delicate and fierce at once. A real enigma.
Tiger Lily knows everyone who’s everyone in Singapore. Strange then that no-one knows her, not even her real name. Someone like that strolls into an agency like Amira’s? Business was already looking up.
Keeran Iyer: The Reformer
He held himself like a schoolboy on the first day of class, honest and respectable. Part of me felt sorry for him: I’d seen what this city could do to men like that.
Keeran is a politician determined to clean up the corruption ravaging the heart of the Lion City. But this strength is also his weakness. Can a man like him survive in a town like this?
In the Lion City your choices matter, and your actions will change the course of Singapore’s future. Even on her first day, Amira will make decisions that could help get the city back on track...or send it spiralling into chaos.
Use your own real-life detective skills to solve the cases, choose a side, and take your first steps towards unravelling a global conspiracy!
