La Noire Eat Your Heart Out: This weird and wild detective game saw me investigating a mysterious body like a broken cat

If the noir thrillers and the fiction of the crime have learned me over the years, it is that each Grizzled detective has a kind of vice or an inherent problem to face. This is definitely valid for many of the big video gumshoes games with which I met in the Indie scene. from Detective of frogs Who is constantly shadowed by the number one investigator, Lobster Cop, at Eugene Mcquacklin from The fame of the detective of duck Whoever has a financial penalty for bread, no sleep is without their defects. Now I find myself in the shoes of another pi-only animal this time is a humanoid bipedal cat, which has broken, due to some horsepower-related gambling debts.

Yes, even in the cat detective Albert Wilde, the titular feline has its defects. But, when you have the additional pressure of an empty wallet and an angry refund that requires the refund, you have even more incentive to solve a case you meet to register your reward money. The developer’s point-and-point-click adventure beyond Thearthosehills is about six hours and is absolutely humorous, strange ancient and an aesthetic appearance and a feeling that is strongly inspired by Noir 1930. The case it really lives until Albert’s name, going to some wild places (E), if you need a good and good laugh.

The inspirations of the 1930s are immediately obvious, with the cat detective Albert Wilde to greet me in the story with loans that play in an old setting that you normally see in the movies of that decade. There is also a constant granular movie movie, which gives him that Gumshoe Gumshoe feels and brings to mind the appreciation Angels with dirty faces and the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I am immediately taken with the monologue of Albert, which is constantly filled by lines that would not be in any point of detectives Noir, if only because he often says humorous versions related to the cat. “I am always on the overthrow … for the truth, for the criminal, for a beautiful bowl of milk when I have the chance” is just a line of many that comes to mind.

Almost immediately, find out that Albert is down, without money, without money on his behalf after a gambling place. Without currency and no case, my first goal is simple: find a job. After I have not been able to speak without problems to a copy of a newspaper from a seller who has a bird’s head (each character has an animal head imposed on a human body, which gives it an unruly look), I have to talk to a soil called Rudy, which I am due to owe money. Fortunately, against his better judgment, he only borrows another dollar, so that I can catch a paper and look for job records. Aka any news about the local offenses to ask.

When they are under control, it goes to a first person vision in a completely white -black frame. Whenever I interact with something, it is highlighted by a yellow point, such a can be in the street. When I pass and click CAN thrown near the news while looking for work, Albert wonders why they really bother to look and I remember many times that I raised on a piece of garbage in La Noire and inspect it, which would lead to the protagonist Cole to say aloud “is only Junk”. But you never know what a hint could be and there is nothing if not a thorough investigator.

Once I found a newspaper that triggers about a mysterious corpse, I am on the phone at the police chief to ask about the investigation, but as is the case for Albert, I apparently wronged them in a way. Basically, everyone I meet is quite reluctant to help, or is not particularly delighted to see me, but this is the life of a defective feline, which has to do a lot of snooping. Once the boss finally gives up the information I need and lets me go in case – because of my constant call from an old box phone hanging in my office – I can open a map and travel to the crime.

Each time I change the location on the map, whether it is a point of interest, or my office, will move to a short cut of Albert who drives the appropriate car from his time and I like how he will continue to tell during the trip. It is indeed so noir. At the stage, I get stuck in the classic investigation works, which is quite simple: to talk to people (or in this case a flamingo) of interest nearby and to look at objects that could serve as indications. First of all, however, I have to look at the body, what is the place where things begin to become strange … Because the body has Albert’s face, but the cat on the ground seems to walk on four legs instead of two … What comes the world?

The Flamingo witness is the next call port, but the pink feather colleague refuses to give up any relevant information, if I do not agree to impress them. I could have seven lives, but I don’t have the movements I need, so he is gone to the dance studio to learn a new routine. At this moment, I fully accept that you will never be able to predict what will happen in this special crime car, but it is all the better for it.

Because of this, I do not want to croak anymore – it is the kind of experience that deserves to enter without much knowledge. All I will say is that, from my foray into the world of dance, you can venture into some sewers, meet a prayer cloak and may even meet some quantum physics. Yes, indeed. If that doesn’t raise your interest, I don’t know what it will be. If you need a good chuckling and something stupid and surprising, here’s a hint: don’t miss it.
