A local P.I. needs your help cracking a few cases. Solve crimes in this 2-Part, fully black & white experience.
The year is 1940, and the city of Chicago has shown its dark underbelly. You've been called in to help solve a case for the Noir Detective Agency. This fully black and white room will be sure to make you feel like you're walking right into the middle of a 40's film noir movie. Aided by a mysterious stranger, your detective skills will be put to the test. Will you be able to sift through the evidence, examine the suspects and nab the culprit in time?
Noir consists of two episodes that each take the full hour. Both episodes are 100% unique with their own story, a different crime to solve and their own puzzles. If it is your first time playing Noir then please select Episode 1 at checkout!
