Lighting up my fifteenth cigarette and straightening my fedora, I entered the cryptic code that unlocked early access to Obsidian Moon’s demo. This detective game, crafted by Lost Cabinet Games, dives deep into noir territory with a moody, atmospheric tone that feels as smoky as that fictional speakeasy I kept imagining. The demo’s vibe is thick with shadow and suspicion, and the puzzles demand a similar sharpness and patience from anyone hoping to unravel its mysteries.
Obsidian Moon doesn’t just tick the boxes of classic noir sleuthing. Its narrative leans into the genre’s trademark grit and melancholy, all while wrapping you up in a sleek, interactive web. The developers balance the weight of the story with enough gameplay intrigue to keep you leaning forward, cigarette in hand. It’s a demo that promises a slow burn rather than an explosive reveal, inviting players to mull over every clue and suspect with equal parts skepticism and curiosity.
