The audio is just as impressive as the art design. Deep blues, glowing whites and a trail of golden intrigue make up the main colour scheme, but moments of chaotic colour make Genesis Noir an experience that plays like a kaleidoscope that you’ll want to stare at for hours. Set on such a cosmic scale, the art style creates a brilliant contrast between the basic line design of No Man and the intricate beauty of the revolving mechanisms that harness the power of the sun. These fractured visuals create dynamic scenes from the simplest of settings and resonate with the noir convention of confusing flashbacks. The puzzles are often as simple to solve as just holding a button and a direction, but the rapid explosion of size and visual dynamism keeps every moment engaging and utterly soothing.įrom a visual standpoint, Genesis Noir is absolutely stunning, perfectly marrying the dark contrast of its film noir aesthetic with fractured perceptions that accentuate your role as time.

No Man faces a series of simple logic puzzles that seed early plant life onto planets or combine genes in the original primordial ooze, and the level design is completely unhindered by scale, so you’ll solve these puzzles on the atomic or galactic scale. Genesis Noir ’s gameplay is linear, both in mandatory chapter selection and the way you engage with the evolution of the universe. Golden Boy is an artist who cannot help but create and destroy. As Pendulum would say : “it’s heavy stuff”. The only way to stop the bullet and save Miss Mass is to seed the universe with enough black holes to consume the bullet and return it to sender through time dilation. The murder scene, a gunshot, represents the Big Bang and the inevitable heat-death of the universe Miss Mass represents the universe’s mass Golden Boy represents energy No Man represents time itself and the bullet’s wake is the ever-expanding reality in which life comes to flourish. In and around space and time, you will traverse the history of the universe as No Man to save your lover, Miss Mass, from Golden Boy’s jealous rage… and it’s all one big allegory. Originally conceived in 2013, the road to release has been a long one, but the standout sci-fi noir experience can now be enjoyed on PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Genesis Noir is a “non-traditional” point and click adventure on a cosmic scale created by developer collective, Feral Cat Den and published by Fellow Traveller.
