Discworld Noir 1999

Is it still worth playing?

Perfect Entertainment's 1999 adventure set in Terry Pratchett's Discworld, in which the private investigator Lewton is drawn into the occult underworld of the city of Ankh-Morpork. It parodies film noir. You move between locations in Ankh-Morpork, find items, solve puzzles and talk with characters. Conversations are structured: you greet characters, ask about topics, show them items you have collected and question them about leads in Lewton's notebook, and leads are crossed out once they are no longer useful. The story has a threaded structure, so a missed clue may be delivered by a character later. Later Lewton can transform into a werewolf to collect scents for additional puzzles. An investigation still keeps moving without leaving you stuck, as leads are crossed out in a notebook and a missed clue arrives later.
