Face Noir is a classic detective game oozing with moody noir atmosphere, and until now, only German and Italian gamers have been lucky enough to get their hands on it. Not anymore! Phoenix Online Studios (developers of Cognition and The Silver Lining) have teamed up with Face Noir's developer, Mad Orange, to localize this point-and-click adventure into English, and it'll be released worldwide on July 18 as a PC download.

A moody tale that combines the intrigue and atmosphere of a Raymond Chandler novel or Humphrey Bogart film with classic point-and-click adventure gameplay, Face Noir follows private eye Jack del Nero as he's falsely accused of murdering the man who left a little girl in his protection. As Jack tries to figure out who she is and clear his name, the disillusioned detective finds himself up against a city infested with corruption and economic uncertainty. And he discovers more about human nature than he ever wanted to know along the way.
Developed by Italian indie studio Mad Orange, Face Noir released in Italy and Germany in 2012. Phoenix Online Studios, the team responsible for episodic adventure games The Silver Lining and Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller, teamed up with Mad Orange to provide full English localization as well as additional programming support. Based on player feedback, this new version has had its user interface updated, pixel hunts eliminated, and some puzzles tweaked.
