JRPG-Inspired 16-Bit styled detective game, "Pixel Noir", is heading to Xbox One!

Pixel Noir is a JRPG-inspired detective game set against a film noir backdrop. Think Earthbound meets Sin City! Living on the streets of a shithole like Pinnacle City, there’s only two things to keep you going: A pack of cigarettes and the feeling that there’s more than this. Ten years ago you were a rookie on the force when you tracked that lead to an abandoned hospital, dragging your partner Detective Cold along. There was something rotten in that rundown place. You were in over yourhead, but you were too proud to admit it; and it was your pride that killed your partner.

Taking on jobs from your clientele will push you deeper into seedy Pinnacle City. From missing pets to murder investigations, your detective skills will earn you either fortune or face punches! With the hospital burned to the ground and nothing to exonerate you, they threw you in jail for the crime. For ten years you were haunted by unanswered questions and unspeakable horror, frightened by what you saw, what you did - and what you could still do.

Now you’re scraping by as a private eye, running a business out of a crappy apartment in downtown Pinnacle. Chasing down cheaters and lost pets isn’t much, but it’s enough to distract you from the voices you still hear at night and the monsters that always seem to creep into the fringes of your vision. But then something happens. A chance comes along…a chance to clear your name once and for all. With your sanity at stake, how can you afford not to take it?
