But if you’re wanting an easy-going mystery, you won’t find it here. ![]() ![]() Give Night Call a try if you’re looking for a challenging narrative game about crime and investigation. As intriguing as its cases are, after you’ve played a few they all blend together, making it even harder to figure out what you’re meant to be doing. But I’m not sure how many people will be able to really stick with it and master it. While the game’s black and white aesthetic makes many of the encounters feel sinister, you’ll soon grow comfortable in the atmosphere and with each new night you’ll be ready to go out there and investigate.Īs a concept, Night Call is fantastic a narrative noir where you play as a cab driver on the dark streets of Paris is something that many people will want to pick up and give a try – and they definitely should. ![]() Read between the lines of the dialogue and you might just learn some life lessons.

Success can often feel like dumb luck I only solved one case correctly, and that was because I happened to ask the right question to one of my passengers. Even then, you’ll likely find yourself making a blind guess at the end. Normal feels like much of the same, but the harder difficulty really relies on you putting on your tightest thinking cap. For my first case, I chose the easiest path to learn the ropes. There are a few different cases to choose from in Night Call, each with varying difficulties. You constantly feel the pressure of time the nights aren’t very long and if you’ve learned nothing to help the investigation, that’s that. You’ll have to really be careful about who you pick up and how much time you want to spend with them.
