Dec. 2024

A compelling crime noir adventure with a distinctive graphic novel aesthetic. Set in a modern American city plagued by crime, the game allows players to navigate the lives of a seasoned detective and a reformed criminal, making choices that significantly influence the unfolding story. The game's strengths lie in its engaging storyline, atmospheric graphics, and immersive soundscape, all of which contribute to a rich and captivating experience. The branching narrative ensures that decisions carry weight, offering a sense of agency and replayability. However, it's unfortunate that the developer, Rival Games Ltd, faced financial difficulties, leading to its closure. This has left me wondering about the potential stories and innovations that could have emerged from such a talented team. Strongly recommended.
