Evaluation
Metropolis: Lux Obscura launched on October 11, 2017 as a self-contained film noir match-3 puzzle game with a complete narrative, four endings, and no post-launch content roadmap. The developer released two DLC items: the original soundtrack (bundled on launch day, October 11, 2017) and a free comic book adaptation of the story (January 31, 2019). Both are fully released. The comic book DLC on January 31, 2019 represents the last content addition and also the last developer communication on record. The store description presents the game as a finished product with a defined feature set. No further content has been announced, and the developer has not posted any updates since January 31, 2019.

About this game
Metropolis Lux Obscura is a unique game with a film noir atmosphere, seductive wanton women, and dirty dangerous secrets. Gameplay is based on a motion comic with a non-linear plot mixed with MATCH3 puzzle fights.

This city is rotten to the core. You can’t even tell night from day in this hell where big money runs everything. And the best way to prove you’re right is with brute force.
Jon Lockhart walked through the prison gates a free man, after spending years imprisoned as the supposed murderer of an old friend. He returned once more to the city where it all started intent on figuring out who it was that framed him for the murder and make them pay in blood for the crime. It'd take some work with the key witness dead, but that just meant he'd have to flush out every rat from hiding.
Old friends and new enemies. Search for the truth, for loyalty and sanity - but all you can find here is redemption, betrayal and death.
