As you sleuth out clues and tools, a changing cursor and messaging for every interactive area keeps you in the know. If the scene's a little too noir for your tastes, just click the light icon in the top right corner to brighten it up. Most of the action revolves around discovering useful objects and putting them to use, which is so in character, the fact that there's only one real code to break is easily forgiven. Although you'll probably get out faster than you can ask, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" While Noir Escape ain't exactly hard boiled, the subtle parody and smooth navigation make this one a keeper.
Play this game with the mouse.
