Overview
Description

Set in Terry Pratchett’s rain‑soaked city of Ankh‑Morpork, Discworld Noir follows private eye Lewton as he unravels a mysterious disappearance hired by the enigmatic Carlotta. The game blends classic point‑and‑click puzzles with a sharp, sarcastic narrative that satirizes noir tropes while immersing you in a living, breathing fantasy metropolis. With hand‑drawn visuals, fully voiced characters, and a moody soundtrack, players explore cramped alleys, bustling taverns, and secret societies, making choices that affect the outcome of the case and Lewton’s own fate. It’s a single‑player adventure that rewards curiosity, wit, and a love for dark humor.

Medium Rosa Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone investigate a series of eerie coincidences linking a film premiere, an empty office, a struggling artist, and a Wall Street triumph. As they uncover the sinister threads binding these events, players are drawn into a witty, dramatic mystery set in a bustling metropolis. The game blends comedy, drama, and supernatural intrigue in classic point‑and‑click style, delivering a compelling narrative for adventure fans. With hand‑drawn art and witty dialogue, it offers a fresh entry into the Blackwell series while standing alone for newcomers.
