ABOUT GAME

DESCRIPTION

Coffee Noir is a combination of a detective novel and a business management game with elegant 2D graphics in a classic comic-book style spiced up with jazz music and retrofuturistic feeling. It offers clever and challenging entertainment, with an advanced economic engine designed by academics and equipped with actual market functions giving a complex business simulation.

At first, Coffee Noir was designed as a serious game for educational purposes. Thanks to a lot of positive feedback from gamers and several prizes received at video game fairs, we decided to expand our idea. Improved graphics, professional voice-overs, more comic-style cutscenes, extended storyline, detective-style game events and point-n-click mini games - all for a true gaming experience focused on intelligent entertainment.

STORY

In an alternative future, the world of 2021 is ruled by coffee and Neo-London goes crazy for it. Recently a mysterious crime has happened to one of the city’s main coffee businessmen. The player discovers the story as Arthur Oliver, a hard-boiled detective who has to work undercover as a coffee salesman to gain the trust of the industry’s tycoons who might have the information that will help solve the case.

FEATURES

Business management

Manage your team, handle production, invest in promotion, and don’t let your coffee business go bankrupt - you have to plan your strategy carefully as you deal with limited resources!

Deep negotiations

Successfully negotiate and gain the trust of your business partners to not only win the good deals but also to get the clues essential for solving the criminal mystery.

Intriguing detective story

Feel the sweat on your brow while solving the case of Richard's disappearance. Don't get yourself easily swayed - this story may be more complicated than it may seem at first glance!

Noir audio-visual setting

Coffee Noir is inspired by classic American comic books and equipped with film noir mood and retro-future ambiance with professional voice-overs. Feel the atmosphere of 40’s - retro-style interiors, smooth jazz, dense cigarette smoke, and a smell of good coffee while wearing the classy detective outfit...

Interactive comics

See the story unfold in the form of interactive comics with full SFX and voiceovers. Experience it like if you were holding a comic in your hands, but also… like if you were present right there, with the characters.
Realistic economics strategy - the game was developed with the support of professional economists and academics to provide you with a thorough business simulation experience.
