Unlike the Telltale style of modern graphic adventure there are actual proper puzzles to solve, many of which can be fairly opaque given the lack of handholding or explanation. There’s very little dialogue though and instead everything is inferred through animation and metaphor, as you journey through discreet sections that explore the deadly love triangle of the opening on both a literal and meta level.Īlthough some sequences require so little input from you it can become confusing as to whether you’re actually controlling the character or not, Genesis Noir does have plenty of traditional gameplay. Saving her from her fate is no easy task, to put things mildly, and quickly evolves into a reality-bending journey through the entire history of human existence.ĭespite the cosmic themes, the noir tone is maintained throughout, not only via the wonderful jazz soundtrack but the background of grimy city streets and shady looking speakeasies. The catalyst for the game’s plot is fairly straightforward, as you visit the apartment of a jazz singer named Miss Mass, who has given you her number, only to arrive just as she is about to be shot by one of her fellow musicians.
