The second game I completed is Noir Syndrome by Glass Knuckle Games. It's a detective game where you search for clues to find out who 'the killer' is. The pixel art and noir setting fit perfectly and the soundtrack is a delight. Its twist is that it's procedurally generated, so there are an infinite number of cases. It feels very much like the table-top game clue which is also explicitly added as its own mini game. After playing for a good 100 minutes it does start to feel quite repetitive though. There are random occurrences like a hitman being hired to kill you, but it happens so regularly that it doesn't feel exciting anymore. There are lots of achievements to be gained, like killing a certain number of people during a run or picking a certain number of locks, but I am not an avid achievement hunter so this is not something that would keep me playing.
In the end I have to say that this game is actually pretty fun (and difficult) and a very interesting take on the detective genre.
