Interesting game, needs polish

(Keep reading to the cons) "Noir" says it all - you're a jaded, cynical detective with a tragic past who is solving a missing persons case in a world where good succeeds seldom, and corruption is the rule... set to the background of bags of espresso. The game itself has a novel premise. Run a coffee production company to fund your investigation while investigating the crime. The game is played by assigning tasks and individuals to execute them, while you go and negotiate contracts and have conversations, and link the clues. Every time you negotiate a new contract, there's a new set of clues, which fill up your crime board. This game is effectively three partially linked mini-games. The production office, the negotiating the contracts (honestly, the only interesting part), and linking the clues a-la Phantom Doctrine). The negotiating table affects your profit in the production office, which enables you to purchase clues from disgruntled servants and the like. PROS: The plot is decent (so far), fairly complex, with pretty good voice acting. CONS: Where the game falls down is in the language localization. "Pfft! What does that matter?!" Well, it DOES - and not how you might expect. You see, in this game you are expected to negotiate business contracts, and the game uses real-world tactics in the negotiation. Low-ball, phony BAFTA, silly money, all of these are explained in a "Compendium" on the desk in the production office... literally 220 pages (so they say) of business school negotiation textbook... translated from Polish by somebody with an indifferent grasp of the nuances of English. It's mostly comprehensible. Sorta. I've ghost-written MBA papers before and I genuinely felt I learned something even through the language barrier. Bottom line: It's a possible 4-5 star game as soon as the Dev team finds a native English speaker to clean up the language and get the actors to re-voice the new dialogue. Probably worth $12-$15.

Good/noir

Actually it's 4,5. Game is interesting in both – noir detective and business management – sides. There are little bugs in game process. Sometimes it feels like not-enough-logic (or just hard to understand without translation) moments – especially in negotiations ("GIMME ALL COFFEE" is our local meme now. I hope it is NOT reference to "The Great Cornholio", which in fact could explain full absence of logic in that exact negotiation). So translation is strongly recommended. And, despite "noir" term right in the name of the game, kinda wish for a possible better fate for Arthur.

Interesting little game

The game tries to do a bit of everything and... it sort of works. It has a lovely Noir feel to it and to be honest it's the story that carries the game. Gameplay-wise, the only part that stood out was the Sales part. Somebody did their homework. The mini-games and the management part were a bit meh. I'm rating it 5 stars because I actually enjoyed it and because the game somehow manages to be more than the sum of the underlying parts.

A promising I-want-it-all game fail

The graphics are neat, voice-acting is okay, and the idea of combining a whodunit with coffee manufacturing sim is refreshing. There is a management aspect, there is a trade aspect, there is a detective aspect, there is most gamers' elixir named coffee in abundance, and then there is the brilliant setting in some retro-dystopian London. Which has been crafted beautifully, in my eyes. But then there comes the in-game tutorial. Let's hope you have an hour or so to spend into learning even the basic mechanics of the game -- which will remain utterly basic and blunt in all aspects. The tutorial is a hassle. It is just bad, no fun at all. Time better spent watching some detective movie, or reading some private investigator graphical or text novel. The bad thing is not so much that the mechanics are unintuitive -- they are pretty easy to manage, despite the full failure of the utterly simplified negotiation part. The bad thing is, in my eyes, that there is absolutely no replayability. Okay, may seem legit for a linear story-based game. But then, usually story-based games don't take that much time to get familiar with. So no matter whether you are at home in the genre of detective games, of business sims, or of just storytelling -- the areas you are not so fond of will prove a huge burden. The good thing with sim games is that they have high replayability by altering a lot of variables in between plays. This is null and void due to the detective part. The good thing with story-driven detective games is that they may create dramaturgical atmospheres, without too much of a distraction. This is spoilt by the interspersed management and negotiation parts. The good thing with negotiation is that you might learn something useful. But not here. This is a single simplified generalisation of the topic, and it will be interrupted by the other parts. I like all types. But not this game. It has failed my tastes -- except for the graphic design. Too much crossover for me.
