How it feels

A classic point-and-click detective adventure with a retro pixel art style, where you slowly uncover a noir mystery through exploration, conversation, and puzzle-solving in a decaying city.

What players say

Players describe a very short, old-school point-and-click adventure with inventory puzzles and crude graphics. The game launched in Spanish and had a poor English translation, though an update fixed the language issue. There is no voice acting and some nonsensical puzzles, but it plays well on the Steam Deck.
