Discworld Noir is the third Discworld Adventure Game. It was made by GT Interactive and released in 1999.The game follows Lewton, the Disc's first and only Private Investigator. The game starts as Lewton is given a simple case to find a man. Since this is an Adventure Game set on the Discworld and acted out through a Film Noir genre filter, it soon becomes clear that there is far more going on.While the game in many places is an Affectionate Parody of Film Noir, it also plays many of the tropes straight, even if they are given a unique Discworld spin. | |

Dying Clue | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_103e0141 | comment |
Dying Clue: A victim who was hung upside-down, blinded, and left to bleed to death scrawls a note in blood on the wall. The message is a code-number for the hiding place of a mysterious relic, but it appears to be a name because it's written upside-down. The name is possibly the biggest Red Herring in the entire game. | |

Darker and Edgier: The entire game feels like a dark Watch book, to fit with the Noir theme. It is also quite darker than the two previous Discworld games, both in feel and in colour palette. Actually works. | |

Now, Where Was I Going Again? | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_199fde5c | comment |
Now, Where Was I Going Again?: The game uses the journal not only as a means to remind the player on what he has to do next, but also as a gameplay mechanic. Namely, the journal entries can be used to question the characters. Appropriate, considering that the protagonist is a Private Detective is in a skewed Film Noir fantasy game. But also occasionally irritating, as the other characters almost always get annoyed when you ask them something that's not relevant to their case, and sometimes even if it is. Trying to figure out which questions are the right questions to ask, and who to ask them to, can be a Guide Dang It! in and of itself. Especially at least one instance where you have to realise that you have to question a character in relation to a note that he gave you. Especially annoying as you can continue on for quite some time without doing this before you are no longer able to progress, giving you no reason to think that you need to talk to him at the moment! | |

Chekhov's Gun: Lampshaded when Lewton notices a grappling hook behind the troll he's trying to question. Sure enough, while he can't collect it immediately, he gets to use it later. "I couldn't have been more interested if it had had 'Plot Device' written all over it." | |

Combinatorial Explosion: Attempting to use a crowbar to smash a glass case elicits the response "Great idea. Shame it'll only work if you're a beta-tester or you've hacked the game", since you're supposed to have lost the crowbar by that point. A glitch causes the item to reappear in the spot where you found it, though. For shame, Mr Beta Tester. | |

Out of Character | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_379b8809 | comment |
Out of Character: Insofar as characters who appear in the books are hanging about, they're reasonably true to the books-except for Vimes. Vimes holds a massive grudge against Lewton because the particular indiscretion for which Lewton was fired (accepting a bribe) ranks just short of murder in Vimes' book (which is true to the books), and he's only too willing to accept that being found unconscious at the crime scene is proof of guilt. This in contrast with his portrayal in the books where he hates "clues" (like, say, being found unconscious at the crime scene) because they often create fantastic stories out of the theories but do little to solve the case. In the books his first duty is to justice, and if that means letting the guy he doesn't like walk so that the real culprit ends up behind bars, he doesn't want it any other way. Essentially, Vimes has been handed the role of Sam Spade's nemesis Lt. Dundy even though it's not a great fit, because it's still much closer than giving it to, say, Carrot. Could be Fridge Brilliance at work: Vimes may actually know that Lewton isn't a likely suspect, but wants Lewton to clean up this mess to make amends for his past failure as a copper. Leaning on Lewton may be Vimes playing out the same hard-ass role he adopted in Night Watch for his "ginger beer trick". | |

Conspiracy Theorist: Malaclypse, a servitor of Errata, Goddess of Confusion and Misunderstanding. This is a Shout-Out to out world Malaclypse the Younger (a penname for Gregory Hill), the supposed creator of Principia Discordia, which details the worship of Eris, the Goddess of Chaos. A reasonable chunk of his gibberish is actually true, and covers a lot of Discworld (and Discordian) mythology/history. And another reasonably large chunk are outright spoilers for the game. Not that you'd realize on the first hearing as they are vague at best and mixed with blatantly false information and Red Herrings. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: Discussed. After Lewton finds out that the assassin Remora is stalking him, he consoles himself with the fact that Remora won't be allowed to kill him as he doesn't have a contract on Lewton. That said, there's nothing stopping him from locking Lewton up somewhere and torturing him for days, as long as he keeps him alive. | |

Only Smart People May Pass: It looks like the game is headed for this when an ancient guardian wants to ask you a riddle to see if you are worthy to receive the McGuffin. But the guardian happened to forget the riddle during his 400-year-wait (but still insists to only hand the item to those who answer it) and Lewton points out that someone of the unworthy faction would just hack the weaponless guardian to pieces. As he's in somewhat of a hurry, he gives the guardian the option to hand over the McGuffin — or he'll just pretend to be unworthy enough... | |

Hardboiled Detective: Lewton both embodies and parodies this trope, due to the Disc's Theory of Narrative Causality; he doesn't know why being a private investigator means he has to wear a trenchcoat and fedora, but he's quite sure it does. | |

But also occasionally irritating, as the other characters almost always get annoyed when you ask them something that's not relevant to their case, and sometimes even if it is.

Pixel Hunt: The previous games sometimes had this. Yes, the usable items were captioned, but only once you had the mouse on them, and the Josh-Kirby-lite insanely detailed backgrounds didn't help.

Foreshadowing | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: After meeting the dwarf Al Khali, Lewton comments "all we needed was a troll and a member of the undead and we could open an ethnic comedy on Broadway". Soon after that, Lewton meets Malachite the troll, and much later Lewton himself becomes a member of the undead. Lewton comments when Carlotta is kisses him: "something changed in me at that point, and I knew I'd never be the same again", while the camera moves to stained glass depicting a wolf. It's later revealed Lewton transformed into a werewolf during that moment. If you examine the fountain in the Temple of Small Gods, Lewton says that until someone is found murdered in the fountain, it is of no interest to him. While not a murder victim, Mooncalf's corpse ends up floating in it after his death by Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter. The manual, when talking about the religions of Ankh-Morpork, mentions Eldritch Abominations and their worshippers. This might seem like just a bit of worldbuilding (or a Shout-Out to H. P. Lovecraft). Then comes the Cosmic Horror Reveal two-thirds in. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Lewton mentions that the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night (from Guards! Guards!) has been "forcibly disbanded." One stained-glass window at the Temple of Small Gods represents an angel presenting a pizza (with a small bay leaf) to a prophet, a reference to a religion mentioned in Mort that believed that the Discworld was created in the image of a pizza. The von Uberwalds' butler refers to the manor as a "splendid Lorenzian building". As mentioned in the books, Lorenzo the Kind was the last King of Ankh-Morpork, executed by Stoneface Vimes. Lewton makes an off-hand remark about "a thousand dead in a pogrom in Omnia," implying that the game takes place before Brutha's reform. Or at least that those times are within living memory. A few times Lewton compares something he's going through to things he's seen in the Clickies, meaning he was evidently a patron of them during the few week period that Clicks were legal. Two Conkers fled back to Ankh Morpork from the Agatean Empire because he was worried about his prospects of survival after a recent revolution. Gaspode talks about the Guild of Dogs and describes it as having become little more than a pack of thugs since Big Fido died. | |

The game is mostly a big homage to Film Noir, but includes a few Shout Outs to other things including Doctor Who ( Satrap's big villain speech is a fairly direct lift of Davros's in "Genesis of the Daleks") and other video games ("They'd hidden in a wine barrel. Now why did that make me think of the phrases 'You wait. Time passes.' and 'Thorin sits down and begins singing about gold'?" - the two phrases coming from the "hiding in wine barrels" scene in the Interactive Fiction version of The Hobbit.) | |

Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_ac0827be | comment |
Private Eye Monologue: Played straight and parodied, with the usual Discworld insistence that metaphors have to be precise. Also, Lewton is a very, very bitter man. | |

Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_b034d333 | comment |
Film Noir: a bitter, cynical, life-weary, alcoholic detective narrates his crime investigation in a dark, corrupt city. Almost no one is telling the truth or can be trusted, and adultery, blackmail, murder and conspiracy are the least despicable things perpetrated. And it's always night and it's always raining. | |

It adds that you can bring up any item in your inventory as a conversation prompt, along with notes you've made about topics you've encountered. Given the amount of these notes throughout the game, the amount of unique dialogue on combinations of notes and NPC:s they are presented to is dowrith impressive. | |

Shout-Out | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The game has innumerable shoutouts to Casablanca, and popular culture in general. There are also two framed pictures showing landscapes from the previous, more colorful, Discworld games. The McGuffin of the first half of the game is a falchion. A Tsortese Falchion. That is also the Discworld's equivalent to the Apple of Discord, or would if the writing on it hadn't been "Batteries not included" The game is mostly a big homage to Film Noir, but includes a few Shout Outs to other things including Doctor Who ( Satrap's big villain speech is a fairly direct lift of Davros's in "Genesis of the Daleks") and other video games ("They'd hidden in a wine barrel. Now why did that make me think of the phrases 'You wait. Time passes.' and 'Thorin sits down and begins singing about gold'?" - the two phrases coming from the "hiding in wine barrels" scene in the Interactive Fiction version of The Hobbit.) Privetier's whole subplot is a shout-out to Theatre of Blood. The name of Nylonathotep is a reference to Nyarlathotep from the Cthulhu Mythos. | |

A reasonable chunk of his gibberish is actually true, and covers a lot of Discworld (and Discordian) mythology/history. And another reasonably large chunk are outright spoilers for the game.

Continuity Snarl | |
Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: A minor one. Early on in the game, Nobby says that Vimes is "practically royalty" because he's now the Commander of the Watch, which comes as a surprise to Lewton. This would seem to indicate that the game takes place some time between Men at Arms and Feet of Clay, where Vimes is promoted to *literal* royalty. However, later in the game Lewton is exonerated of the murder of Malachite because a gargoyle on the roof of the Clacks office saw the crime, which would set the game some time around The Fifth Elephant. It's easily explainable by Nobby being forgetful and Lewton being out of the loop, or by the Clacks being in very early development, or by the events described in Thief of Time and their described muddying of history. | |

Discworld Noir (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Many of the characters in the game are quite clearly Discworld versions of characters from Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon. Hortz the Troll is one for Casper Gutman as a huge Genius Bruiser who is also a Diabolical Mastermind. Al-Khali is a dwarf henchmen for Hortz and named after the largest city in Klatch, ala Joe Cairo to Casper Gutman. Carlotta is one for Brigid O'Shaughnessy and Mrs. Grayle from Farewell, My Lovely, both classic Chandler Femme Fatale characters. Isla is one for Lund from Casablanca. Samael is one for Sam from the same film, being a piano playing vampire who is told things like, "Play it again, Sam." The Count is one for General Sternwood from The Big Sleep. Regin the dwarf is for Rusty Regan from The Big Sleep but is actually closer to the chauffeur, being the Von Ubervald's carriage driver. "Tomb evacuator" Laredo Cronk is an obvious Lara Croft reference, and the Indiana Jones theme occasionally almost plays in the background of the archaeologist's guild. | |

Shown Their Work: Not only does the game use and parody Noir Tropes quite well, the amount of Shoutouts to classic Film Noirs is impressive. The film's basic plot begins very similar to The Maltese Falcon but quickly adds elements from Casablanca and MurderMySweet. Various pieces of dialogue have been lifted from numerous Noirs verbatim, but given to surprising couplings. | |
