Gaming - Night Call


What can I say about this game? Well, it's not for everyone. You might get bored easily, even fall asleep (like my wife). It has that noir-style kind of feel, like a black and white comic themed environment I could almost imagine myself being in it.

You are a Parisian taxi driver who drives night shifts, engaging with different kinds of passengers' manner. Until one night, your encounter with a serial killer had left you scarred but with your dark history, you are accused as the prime suspect instead of a victim to the crime.


I actually enjoy this game in terms of how he interacts with passengers he picks up, creating some kind of driver-passenger relationships. With what's happening to him in recent event, he uses this opportunity for his private investigations and also to prove that he is the victim. The passengers sometimes provide hints and clues if you know what to say based on the situation.

One challenging thing about this game is the fact that most of the time I am clueless about the things I am suppose to do such as how this case needs to be solved. They would give you five suspects to investigate but whatever clues and information I have, I don't know how it relates to any of the suspects. Like trying to find an answer without looking at the question.


As good as this game is, it is not perfect 10 worthy. One of the flaws is how it gets repetitive at some point and because of the mellow environment, I sometimes get sleepy too. Another downside about this game is how the story progress slowly it gets dull and boring.

But nevertheless, it is still a good game to try out as you have a choice on how your character going to be with multiple dialogues and decisions to choose from as you venture deeper into the story.

Overall Rating: 6/10

Graphic: Good noir-style, black and white comics graphic in an indie game.
Gameplay: Multiple choice of dialogues and decisions to choose from that could affect the game progress but you have limited time in a night to gather all the intels you could find for your case.
Storyline: The encounters with the passengers get repetitive at certain point of the game and it's a bit slow.

Would I recommend this? Sure if you want to play this game like reading a bedtime story.
