Hauma - A Detective Noir Story

评分：3/5 评测：美漫风格的推理游戏，玩法是“视觉小说”和“解谜”基本对半分，想看小说中间插一堆解谜挺磨叽，想玩解谜期间又全是对话玩不爽，实在有点鸡肋。不过游戏的质量还算过关，如果能够忍受逆天玩法的话可以尝试

It is bugged and got stuck in the story without a working save file, so i can not recommend this game, although the story and style was very much to my liking.

这种类型挺好玩。以为不能打那个犹太孝子守墓男，原来能打，爽完了。

Depite what devs say, the game breaking police station bug is still here in 2026. I actually liked the lead's personality. No she's not a sweet girl but she is an entertaining character. The game mechanics are terrible. Slow and frustraiting. In an attempt to align with its genre of detective noir, the writing takes an extremely *american* detective noir slant and lacks the creativity to adopt a german lens to the logic of these characters' actions, despite what the setting may imply. Can confirm, the 3rd act does completely fall off the rails.

it's horrible. From pointless story to strange mechanics.

推薦歸推薦，殘體翻譯缺字嚴重且翻得不倫不類也算了，竟然沒有地方可以設定語言....

Game Breaker bugs in multiple places. Lost the two hours of progress I had made and won't start over.

[i] Very small spoilers hidden, personally I don't think they affect the story too much. [/i] I usually like it when the prologue and the game itself aren't the same thing. However, it would've been great if they had been a little bit more connected. The game alludes sometimes to things that happen in the prologue, but they're admittedly too short or small. I dont' think it should've been too much, because I also think this game should work on its own without needing to play the prologue to understand it (if that were the case, they should make a part1 and part2, not a prologue). Still, a slightly stronger connection wouldn't have hurt and it would've made sense. Personally I don't mind the clutural/historical inclusions in the story, I usually think it's cool. It may have felt a bit forced sometimes, but the story would have had to drag out a lot to include those seamlessly. I think it was good enough. The dialogues sometimes felt a bit wonky, sometimes things would randomly escalate too fast. Then again, I think that is related to the main issue I have found with the game: the protagonist is insufferable. She started off as a bit of a rascal, which was good, but then started to become just straight up mean and violent. Detective noir stories do have a tradition, and usually, the one who investigates is supposed to stand at a higher moral ground than the rest. NOW, it could be that they have tried to subvert this tradition, just like they do by having a female protagonist (these stories usually have male investigators) but I dare say it is not the case. The story has all the common elements to establish the protagonist as the traditional hero, but her personality and choices do not live up to that. We could say that her attitude became like that because she was becoming obssesed and maniac or something, but then the story should have made a stronger point on that. It feels more that she simply isn't a well-developed character. Like c'mon, you are telling me that she has been [spoiler] followed, threathened, kidnapped, etc., but when her brother (WHO HAS HELPED HER IN HER MISSION AND HAS BEEN PUBLICLY AND OPENLY WITH HER WHILE SHE WAS BEING FOLLOWED) says that he is being followed she is like "Nahhhh he is just a drunk". [/spoiler] Be serious. The story paints her as badass and cool and as the only one that could solve the mystery and then she is just incompetent like that? I feel like many of the game's issues would be more overlooked if it weren't for the fact that it the central piece of the game (the protagonist) just doesn't work well. For example, the ending is extremely abrupt and feels rushed. I could make peace with that, but added to the rest, it just feels like the story wasn't properly polished. There are also bugs that just make your save unusable. Overall, would I recommend the game? Well, maybe. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but maybe with a big sale it can be good. The game is okay, it can be entertaining and it has a lot of potential. In this review I mark that I would not recommend the game because it's that, at full price, I cannot justify the bugs and stuff. For a reduced price? Well, sure.
