Seven Days of Lovecraft, Day 2: Discworld Noir! Just when you thought a noir investigation, a werewolf story and a serial killer mystery were a lot for one game, it had to add a Lovecraftian element, with Nylonathotep (a somewhat lazy pun on Nyarlathotep) attacking Ankh-Morpork.

(And I’m in a hurry, so that’s all I’ll say right now. But yeah, great game, etc.)

I wouldn’t have recognised the screenshot but I loved Discworld Noir - I still have the Playstation version which was one of the earliest Adventure games I played & hooked me enough to keep playing more!

Discworld Noir is one of the greatest and funniest adventures I had a privilege to play. It excels in every department (story, characters, humo(u)r & sarcasm & cynicism, graphics, music, gameplay, puzzles, length… you name it). I’ve played it only twice, but it was magnificent both times.

I recommend it to all the AGers, and if you had already played it many times before do yourself a favo(u)r and watch the ingenious playthrough made by TheRussianGestapo (it’s chock-full of game trivia and funny, often hilarious, comments).

The most quotable game => great writing, and it’s a shame that the duo Barnett/Bateman didn’t do more adventure games.

On the puzzle department, it might get too strenuous at times but its clue system is something which had to be adopted and further developed by later games.


Thanx for reminding me I need to watch Discworld movies sitting on my disk. AND to play Discworld 2. Gasp

(BTW, how about a new adventure game preferably by Daedalic, based on a new Discworld book? Yum)

I could never get into DWN quite as much as the original DW games. I wasn’t fond of Lewton and the main actor, an American just feels rather out of place in Ankh-Morpork.

Awesome game!

Yet I wouldn’t have recognized the screenshot. And I played this in the community playthrough a mere six months ago…  Gasp

But Rob Brydon’s voice work in these games are brilliant! Gasp

Oh, he’s a good actor, I just prefer Rincewind and Eric Idle. Plus I’m not a big fan of anything ‘noir’. I liked the game, just not much as Discworld 1 and 2.

Discworld Noir is in my top ten list of all-time favourite games. The recent playthrough of DN was one of the best. Mini Smile The Dungeon Dimensions were mentioned more in the earlier Discworld books, when Sir Terry was still parodying the fantasy genre.
