If you're an aficionado of Terry Pratchett and his work, then the elements of Discworld Noir will give you a familiar buzz, although a true fanatic may not agree with the way in which the city of Ankh Morpork is portrayed here. If you're a big fan of this adventure genre, the game will give you many hours of fun and intrigue.

It's all point-and-click after the introductory sequences and yet a novel and unique approach has been taken regarding the storing and future use of clues they are automatically written into a notebook for using in interrogation or solving the various challenging puzzles throughout the game. You play as the character Lawton, a private investigator who is called in to solve a mystery. Its variety gives the game a life of its own, one that rises above the story and its limited script and gives the whole proceeding a depth that makes it worth playing. However, a major part of this interesting game is the music and how it is used.

The books have a certain dark depth to them, as does this game the script of the book is used as a backdrop to this individual tale but does not give too many clues away for the sophisticated and authentic noir story found within.Īs expected, all of the pulp fiction narratives are here, as well as the assorted cliches of busty blondes, dirty detective, dark streets and double-crossing citizens. Discworld Noir, developed by Perfect Entertainment and published by GT Interactive, is the third game to be based on the novels of that series by Terry Pratchett.
