How it feels

This game feels like stepping into a black-and-white noir film, slowly piecing together clues in a smoky, historically grounded 1920s setting.

What players say

Players praise the stylish silhouette art and jazz soundtrack that create a strong 1920s atmosphere, but note the story is predictable and the game is short at 2-4 hours. Some find the clicking through dialogue options tedious, and a few reviews mention the developer disappeared after a cliffhanger ending.
