About the game
A moody tale that combines the intrigue and atmosphere of a Raymond Chandler novel or Humphrey Bogart film with classic point-and-click adventure gameplay, Face Noir follows private eye Jack Del Nero as he’s falsely accused of murdering the man who left a little girl in his protection.

The value story
67 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 88 percent. On the same math Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure ($19.99, scores 59) and Bear With Me - Episode One (free, scores 67) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
What players say
An Extremely fascinating P&C-Noir quest that combines all the classical of the detective genre with its own interesting features and ideas! You are a private detective Jack Del Nero who is been hired by some rich oldman to take a few "compromising" pictures of his distrustful stepdaughter. Just another "chore" for Jack to take care of... what could possibly go wrong?
