Play it if you…
Good fit- Stealth-adventure players who want to move through sewers and rooftops

Skip it if you…

- Players who do not enjoy morally ambiguous noir stories may not connect with the setting or characters.
Our take on Calvino Noir
Players seeking a long campaign may hit a wall when the seven levels end. The three-act structure gives the story a defined boundary rather than an extended sequence of locations and encounters.
What is Calvino Noir?
Calvino Noir is a stealth adventure set in the 1930s European criminal underworld.
The story follows a group of low-lifes, loners, and last-chancers drawn into a plot involving the future of a city in decline. Players move through sewers, rooftops, and other atmospheric locations while avoiding or confronting guards. A group of characters with different skills can be coordinated during each level. Stealth and brute force are both available for dealing with obstacles. The game contains seven levels divided across three acts and presents its narrative with full voice acting. Its setting draws on classic film noir, with morally ambiguous characters and a visual style influenced by noir cinema.
