In PataNoir, you solve problems by manipulating the hard\-boiled metaphors used by the main character to make sense of the world in which he lives\.  The game is an old\-school text adventure, in which you type commands to perform actions\.   Features     An interactive noir mystery to experience and solve    Innovative interactive fiction gameplay in which the metaphors you live by become tools to solve the mystery    Simulated book interface    Atmospheric illustrations by Lauri Ahonen and Tom Siddell    Original theme song by postmodern rock musician William Steffey
