Now with gameplay footage
A few months back we got ourfirst look atRenoirand I expressed some cautious optimism since the film noir genre is underused in games but the reveal trailer had no information on gameplay past the puzzle-platformer genre designation. The project is now up onKickstarterwith an extended trailer and gameplay explanation.
Taken in parts, each individual aspect ofRenoirhas been done before. The plot centers on aghost detective trying to solve his own murder. The art is mostlymonochromatic with a few splashes of color. The gameplay involvesplaying a section, rewinding, and then cooperating with a recording of that play. All that said, I’m still drawn to it. It’s gotta be the noir angle that hooks me.
Renoirkicked off it Kickstarter campaign a couple days ago and it has since made a decent chunk of its roughly $60,000 base funding goal. It’s far from being a sure thing at this stage, but there is some interest. If funded, it is planned for release on Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, with the console releases coming in after PC.
