SUPERTHUMb, an indie development team based in South Korea, will release its medical mystery adventure 'Death at Fleming Manor' on Steam on November 3 at 20:00 JST. The game is set in England in 1959 and follows unexplained deaths at a country house on the outskirts of London. Players investigate crime scenes, examine bodies, and interview residents, then complete official documents such as death certificates and emergency activity records based on the evidence they collect. A key mechanic is the in-game 'medical dictionary,' which players use to interpret medical terms and support each entry in their reports. The developer says the game draws on the atmosphere of classic country house mysteries by authors like Agatha Christie, and recommends it to fans of 'Return of the Obra Dinn' and 'The Case of the Golden Idol.' The art style is inspired by 1960s European comics and the ligne claire style. The game supports English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese at release. A free demo is available on Steam, including the prologue and Chapter 1. The price is undecided.
SUPERTHUMb has been making games for over 10 years. The team's earlier releases include Animal Hot Springs and Animal Cinema, which it developed for mobile and PC from 2015 onward.
The developer describes the game's tagline as "Your mission is to write the death certificate." The demo includes the prologue, which acts as a tutorial, and Chapter 1 of the full version. Some features in the demo are omitted, and certain puzzles or solutions may differ from the final release.
All of the in-game art is hand-drawn and does not use generative AI. The studio posts behind-the-scenes material on its SUPERTHUMb Game Art YouTube channel, including layered CLIP STUDIO PAINT files and process videos. The team cites the art style of 1960s European crime and mystery comics, alongside the ligne claire style, as its visual reference points.
The game is set at Fleming Manor, described as a secluded British country house in the late 1950s. The developer frames the core loop as investigation leading to paperwork, with each case solved through forensic work and document completion rather than naming a culprit outright. The game is built for a single player and uses point-and-click investigation mechanics.
The release date and time given by the developer is November 3, 2026, at 20:00 JST. The Steam store page lists the game under the app ID 3758950, while the demo has its own separate listing under app ID 4137650.
