Graphic novels can be pretty graphic.
<span class="bold">Noctropolis</span>, a FMV adventure game about living out your comic book nightmares, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy achievements and a 50% launch discount.
It's closing time at the bookstore. In the dimly-lit room, a strange figure lurks crouched on the creaky floor. It's the owner, Peter Grey. Suddenly, he leaps over the counter, dashes across the room, then throws a hefty cooking tome on an unsuspecting table lamp. BANG! The store goes completely dark - another successful mission for "Darksheer". But when Peter gets magically sucked inside his hero's comic-book world, he quickly realises darkness can be as perilous as it is alluring.
The legendary Darksheer has gone missing and now Peter must don the cape of his idol and clean up the everdark streets of Noctropolis in his place. For in the persistent shadows an evil plot is unfolding, threatening to consume this city of eternal darkness. Thankfully, what Peter lacks in KAPOW! he makes up for in *lightbulb* as he sets out to point, click, and talk his way to the truth. And maybe, eventually, back to the real world.
This version of the game comes with improved mouse and keyboard support, gameplay enhancements which remove dead-ends, plus numerous technical fixes. It also includes a remastered in-game soundtrack and a downloadable copy of the original Comic Book!
Open the latest issue and venture into the ominous streets of <span class="bold">Noctropolis</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% discount will last until January 26, 1:59 PM GMT.
