How it feels
A moody interactive film where you piece together clues and navigate betrayal in a smoky 1940s underworld.

What players say
Players praise the film-noir atmosphere and cheesy FMV acting, but split on its harsh time limit: you have three in-game days to solve the case, and missing a window often forces a restart. The save system only works at one location, which many find frustrating.
