I have been playing the great game Bear With Me and I am loving the noir atmosphere.

What I want to ask is there any games similar to this?

Hey Headycakesofdoom, I’m one of the developers for Bear With Me, i found your post on google. I can tell you some of the games that inspired Bear With Me, maybe you can find something you like and/or haven’t played yet:

- Monkey Island (of course Smile)
- Grim Fandango (absolutely amazing classic with great “noir” atmosphere)
- Broken Sword (terrific atmosphere, great game)
- Discworld Noir (In terms of “noir” atmosphere and ambiance, it’ll be difficult to find a better game)
- Silent Hill series (not so much noir, but great games with great atmosphere - and scary
- Post Mortem (Great detective game, it dabbles in supernatural a bit)

Couple of new ones that are compared to BWM:
- Kathy Rain
- Fran Bow
- The Cat Lady (very weird, but stunning nonetheless)

Some of these we haven’t played yet, but could be interesting:
- Thimbleweed Park (new game made by legendary Ron Gilbert)
- Murdered: Soul Suspect
- Deadly Premonition (Closest thing to a Twin Peaks game you can find)

Some of great ones, with similar “mystery” atmosphere:
- Vanishing of Ethan Carter
- Life is Strange (amazing game, play this one if you haven’t)
- What remains of Edith Finch
- Gone Home (called walking simulator, but it has great sense of mystery and the story unravels in an interesting direction)

Can’t remember any more but hopefully you’ll find something you like. They’re all amazing games and give some of them a try if you haven’t. Cheers

I haven’t played Bear With Me (yet!) but thought of a couple of fun noirish games that might fit:

The Nick Bounty games are free:

Cubert Badbone, PI is also free:

Emerald City Confidential is not free and is quite colourful but still noir and a lot of fun:

I’d love to buy both chapters. Unfortunately they aren’t drm-free on HumbleBundle, so it won’t do. They are drm-free on itch.io, but not discounted, and the thing with itch.io, you never know if they’ll get more episodes (it happened with The Secret Monster Society…)

So maybe if they’ll eventually add a drm-free installer to humble.

As far as I know the presence of a drm-free version on Humble is up to the developer. So it might be worth an email to encourage them in case they don’t spot the comment here?

Also: many Steam games are actually DRM-free, just using Steam for the installation. So it’s quite possible you’d be able to install the Steam version and make a backup copy of that if that would suffice.

Have you played Face Noir?  I think you might enjoy that one too.

This reminds me I still have Episode 2 of Bear With Me to play…
