There are some good bits still, and a few puzzles that do make sense, but a lot that don't which was kind of how it worked back then. Unless you're mad for retro point and click, and it is on a sale, don't bother.. If I was to sum Noctropolis up in two words, I would say it's "beautifully one-dimensional".Initially I planned to give somewhat of a tentative recommendation based almost entirely on the game's gorgeous environments and striking atmosphere, but as I went on playing I found that beyond that there was nothing there for it. The writing is abysmal, and even if I tried to look at it through a more tongue-in-cheek lens so much of it is just empty. It\u2019s not an amusing kind of bad either (like \u201cRise of the Dragon\u201d, which is another point-and-click game that puts style over substance). There\u2019s no sense of weight to this world that ironically enough fleshes itself out only visually, but has absolutely no other substance to it. It\u2019s completely hollow of personality, of characters, of emotion or of any real world. It\u2019s a beautiful backdrop of nothing.The biggest question I had while playing was \u201cWhy should I care about what\u2019s going on?\u201d And the only answer I had was \u201cto see what backgrounds I get to see next\u201d. It seems the game itself too, works in a similar sense. Rather than the story painting and weaving together the backgrounds, it's vice versa.The protagonist has virtually no personality, never acts on his own behalf, and the character we portray onto him fails to convey any realism because he doesn\u2019t talk like a normal human being would. With whiny dialogue choices that essentially all boil down to \u201cI\u2019m the hero, you should listen to me\u201d, the cardboard-cutout cast just eventually plays into it and he gets to play the hero like he wants. Maybe this is all some depressive fantasy of his -- this lonely, abandoned middle-aged geek who retreats to his comic books for comfort, and dreams he\u2019s the hero. He\u2019s wanted, he\u2019s loved, and he gets exactly what he wants in a Total Recall all-goes-right kind of adventure. But even if it were the case (and it\u2019s not, unfortunately), it wouldn\u2019t forgive the extremely unfulfilling game experience.The problem is, in the context of Noctropolis, the "silent protagonist" trope doesn't work. There's a reason adventure games almost never have silent protagonists, and this is because they're entirely narrative-driven. For a narrative to work, it needs to have a pivotal main character we can relate to. Games like HL2, Zelda, Dead Space, etc -- the story is not the primary focus, it is the gameplay that drives the story forward, whereas it's vice-versa in point-and-clicks. In a genre with this amount of focus on narrative, it's just not suited for a silent protagonist, especially with one as poorly done as the one in Noctropolis.The other characters, having no depth and being as deep as the aforementioned cardboard cutout, also have no arc. Aside from your sidekick (who you really only actually speak to maybe once or twice in the game and serves no purpose other than being eye-candy) every other person just disappears from the story after you encounter them. It strikes me as if the game designers had a checklist, and after every obligitory showing of the character they'd just check them off and move onto the next one. They'd keep it up until the game is over, and then we can finally find out how our protagonist (who we've stuck with from the very start) grew from this journey. Except nothing really happens to him, and he never felt like a person to begin with.The puzzles are either overly-simplistic or extremely obtuse. To use the pixel-hunted items you find throughout the game you just select them from the poorly-integrated inteface, and if the item is conducive to the room you\u2019re in at the moment, you\u2019ll use it automatically. It\u2019s very strange to get used to, not particularly bad, but the fact this is the case as well as the fact you can\u2019t actually control the protagonist directly (only through a "go-to" command) made it feel as though the game would\u2019ve worked the same if it were completely first-person. The characters are usually ant-sized on the screen anyway because the incredibly well-drawn scenery takes up the entirety of the room.The hokey acting was a plus. I enjoyed the little boxes that came up when you\u2019d talk to a character where they\u2019d typically act-out their dialogue, but this only happens about half the time. The other half you\u2019re solely reading text from them with no voice, no movement. This can work if done right, but here it would have worked much better if it were just one or the other, because the transition is sudden and jarring.I really appreciate what the devs and Night Dive Studios did by bringing the game back. I\u2019ve wanted to play the game for months but couldn\u2019t get it to work, and once I saw it was on Steam I had bought it immediately. Their other revived games, most notably Harvester which is one of my favorite games of all-time, also led me to believe I was in for something better. This game shares a lot of similarities to Bloodnet in terms of shortcomings, but what I enjoyed more about Bloodnet was the fact that along with the beautiful environments it had a real world to explore and get invested in. Not a good one, but there was something, and it had been released a year before. Noctropolis doesn't have anything of the sort.Noctropolis hasn\u2019t aged poorly; It's not a particularly great game now, nor was it then. The graphics hold up, the music is moody, brooding and suitably nice just as it was at its release, it\u2019s just everything else about it that doesn\u2019t work. The center and the core of a point-and-click adventure is its narrative and story. The genre is essentially interactive stories at their most basic, and it\u2019s the player that guides the story along. If that\u2019s lacking, then the entire game suffers as a result. Noctropolis is a textbook example of an adventure game that can\u2019t be held up by atmosphere alone.. A true classic,Short but sweetalso this version is uncut\/unedited in videobut the UI and puzzles changed to make it, more simplistic for modern gamers,personally I found it tooo easy in this versionalso i couldnt find any commentary of any sorts but this game, ive had since it was on the store shelf brand new!Awesome game, awesome genre,RIP this style when win 10 takes full control all is doomedBUY this game and more like it you wont regret it!!. Great old school FMV! This game brings me back to 1995. Noctropolis holds a very special place in my heart.When I was younger, my father bought our first family PC. It was a "Tiny" computer with a pentium 100mhz and either 4\/8mb ram. When looking for games i found Noctropolis in the cheapo section and I could afford it with my pocket money. So I bought it!I spent so many hours trying to complete the game, in my youth i struggled to complete this game, but loved the story.Noctropolis is a point & click with fmv scenes integrated into the game, it is a brilliant old school game with fantastically drawn out scenes with a story line that will ultimately blow your mind.Although the ending you can see coming from several miles away, the lead up to the end and the quirky characters all the way through are sublime.The actors in game are all FMV sequences integrated into the scene. They are super cheesey but make the game amazing. **spoiler** if you do complete the game there are a bunch of bloopers at the end credits **spoiler**who gives a * about graphical quality, this game is older than most of the gamers out there today!If your put off by its looks and instantly dismiss this game please uninstall steam and dont come back. There are plenty of games out there that lack graphic quality which have better gameplay & stories than the AAA titles so stop being naive.the music, well the music takes me back to the old autoexec.bat where you used to have to "SET BLASTER" and setup your midi ports and interrupts. Its quirky & old but fits the game perfectly.This game is a must for any comic book fans who love a good point & click.for under \u00a310, this game is definitely worth a buy, I completed it in about 4hrs but I could remember about half of the game already.. Extremely oldschool and yet still very much fun today. Aged surprisingly well for a FMV adventure due to the comic theme.. Holy hell, I remember having had this on Cd way back in the days, back when FMV adventure games were the rage. So glad I found this one again!It is not without its flaws, it does suffer from the same 90's adventure game logic in certain parts, and there are a lot of instant death\/game over scenes, but over all, it is a very enjoyable game.. I played this game when it first came out in the 90s, and loved it. In fact I've still got the original CD and instructions, but setting up DOSbox to play it was troublesome, and just never got around to beating it. Ever. So as soon as I saw this on Steam, I couldn't resist grabbing it. Not only does it run flawlessly, but it also has controller support, improved mouse support (i.e. scroll wheel is now supported), and even steam achievements.Just a warning, this game is fairly basic compared to other point-and-click adventure games, but it's also really unique and completely worth playing through. It's also very unforgiving, the game will kill you unexpectedly, and if you haven't saved, you're starting over the the beginning. So save often!. It's a fun, short game if you can get past the retro interface.. I came across this game not so long ago and was very glad to see some gems still left unrevealed for me.Noctropolis is the city covered by night,mysterys of people`s sins and saints looking for the blink of light in it`s darkness.Real actors play along with very interesting story and great music make this game very atmospheric.If you want to trip into futuristic adventure,like detectives or you are Tex Murphy fan(it reminds me alot of Tex),or just about to play another point&click... this is just the right game.
