Our take on Face Noir
The store presentation strongly foregrounds noir mood and literary or cinematic comparisons, but gives little concrete detail about the investigation’s puzzle structure, clue handling, or range of interactions.
What is Face Noir?
Play as Jack Del Nero, a private investigator accused of killing the man who entrusted him with a young girl.
The investigation centers on identifying the girl and proving Jack’s innocence. His search takes him through a city marked by corruption and economic hardship, where uncovering evidence exposes darker aspects of human behavior. Face Noir uses point-and-click adventure gameplay within a detective story shaped by noir fiction and film. The game focuses on following the case, examining its characters and circumstances, and piecing together what happened.
