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?

pros + jazzy soundtrack + 1930's noir atmosphere and depression-era setting + there are nice variety of puzzles + game is long + intriguing storytelling with twists and cast of realistic characters + translation from italian to english pretty good + when you press to F1, hotspots highlighted so no need to pixel hunting. + there are some good jokes + there is auto save cons - game works with low framerate and laggy on Windows 10 but when you download dxwnd and run game's exe with this program game works without a problem. that's why steam can't record my playtime. - stiff character animations. characters can't run - voice acting hit or miss - dated, bland and very dark background graphics. there is no gamma option on menu - stereotype racist portrayals of some side characters - game concluded with a cliff hanger and there is still no Face Noir II Overall this game is pretty cool. i like it.

Spend a week with this; worth it. Act like it was released in the early 2000s instead of 2013 and you got yourself a decent crime adventure. The background is simply amazing and the music creates a moody athmosphere. Some parts are left to personal opinion and/or interpretation, which is ok for time spend in front of a computer screen. The characters fulfil a wide range of stereotypes of various ethnics looking for a better life in this weird wild place called America. Story is fine; many things are clearified in linear storytelling which makes for a relaxed playing experience. No action sequences, no running in circles, no fights.

Fantastic adventure, one of the best I've played in a long while. The story was a well written and the puzzles made sense in the world and didn't hold my hand through them but still remained fair and balanced. To address some complaints I've seen in the reviews: 1. Graphics: I found them to be ideal for this game, they were detailed and there were interesting ambent effects like the rain and smoke in bars. 2. Voices: If you watch any 40's noir films you quickly notice that's how they talk, I thought it really enhanced the atmosphere. 3. Humor: Dry and funny! Just like the movies. If you like noir movies and you like adventures you're going to like this!

Wow... I really enjoyed playing to this game. Great atmosphere, dark story with a lot of humour, music, ambience, characters, places,... all is perfect. Maybe a little negative point to the difficulty... some puzzles are to easy and... 'Dannazione', Jack told you were you maybe have to go for the next step. Ok, I follow his intuition... ;) Hoping that 'Face Noir 2' will be realesed soon...
