Evaluation

Noir Chronicles: City of Crime is a single-player hidden object/adventure game that launched on January 25, 2018. The store description presents it as a fully self-contained experience with a fixed set of locations, puzzles, and characters — typical of the genre, which is traditionally released as a complete, standalone product with no post-launch content cycle. Notably, all ten of the most relevant developer news posts retrieved for this game are actually about an entirely separate title — Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love — and contain no information about Noir Chronicles whatsoever. There are no DLC listings, no announced expansions, no roadmap posts, and no developer communications of any kind relating to Noir Chronicles after its launch date. The developer has never announced any post-launch content for this game, and no such content appears to have shipped. This game launched as a complete, finished product and has received no post-launch content additions.
