Really wanted to like this game, as Im a big fan of detective games in general. And I did like it at first. The visuals are pleasing (I managed to upscale it to 4k using DGVoodoo and add a few shaders with Reshade), the main character is ok, voice acting is decent (not great), the music is typically soothing and the story ..ah well, I trotted along until it just bogged me down. Sorry, but cant recommend this.

You're a washed-up, alcoholic ex-cop in the depths of the 1930s Depression. Scraping by is a daily struggle. You live off other people’s mistakes—and whiskey. The only things keeping you above water are a bottle of bourbon and a single glass of truth. I love this kind of game. It’s heavily story-driven with solid challenges along the way. The atmosphere is dark and moody, and you quickly lose yourself in the role of Jack Del Nero. I know Face Noir 2 was supposedly in the pipeline, but as far as I’m aware, it never saw the light of day. That’s a real shame, because I genuinely adore this game and would’ve jumped at the chance to play a sequel. I’m a huge fan of classic 2D “point-and-click” adventures. Sadly, they don’t get made much anymore. 3D has taken over the genre, and honestly, I doubt we’ll ever see a second installment—even if development somehow picks up again. So if you’re into atmospheric, noir-style 2D point-and-click games, this one’s a gem. The only downside? Some technical hiccups. Dialogues don’t always display correctly, which can leave you stuck without options. Your best bet is to tinker with the resolution settings and try again.

Face Noir is a 1990s style point and click adventure game which, from a narrative perspective, combines the gumshoe story telling of a Raymond Chandler novel with subtle flourishes of Indiana Jones. Combining an underworld crime story with police corruption during a war-torn setting, and mixed with ancient mysticism, Face Noir is layered in its mix of genre that runs throughout the story telling. Although Face Noir does nothing new with the point-and-click formula, it competently combines mind mapping, puzzles, lock picking, and stealth into the gameplay, providing variety to the pacing. The play style is simple but effective in telling its story, which is where the true strengths of the game are to be found: atmosphere, and narrative. In terms of atmosphere, the game's lighting is true to the conventions of the genre of noir, just as the brass infused jazz soundtrack serves as a fitting backdrop to the game's art-deco aesthetic. Sadly, the voice acting is below par where, frankly, each of the cast members come across as minimally experienced in the area, or offering no experience at all. The voices sound less like performances, and more like initial table readings when a cast is still finding their characters. A shame too as there is some very serviceable dialogue that serves the narrative very well. But. it's the delivery and execution that is lacking in voice acting which can break immersion. Overall, Face Noir is a solid, but linear, game. It's nothing exceptional, but the essential elements of consistent gameplay elements, atmosphere, and narrative keep the game afloat. Good, but not essential. 3 out of 5

This title really nailed the noir atmospshere really well, but unfortunately the way they designed the puzzles to be completed are not.
