Night Call

A decent plot hook and narrative. But low replayability. The game can be completed in three hours, having explored only 10% of all passengers. Frankly, it's not entirely clear why so much volume was provided. The information from 10% of all passengers was enough for me to make the right choice on the seventh day. I'm not sure if I'd go thought the story for the second time. It seems like I've already seen a lot, so I'd just get bored. I'd really like to praise the detective section. But the philosophical and social themes are underdeveloped and seem just to fill the gap. I wasted too much time exploring random magical stuff that doesn't make any sense and doesn't contribute to solving the crime. I wish there were less inflated and grounded dialogues and more focus on raw detective line.

Night Call is a noir game about a night taxi driver who helps the police track down a serial killer. You only have 6 nights to solve the case. The concept sounds very interesting: you drive through nighttime Paris, pick up passengers, talk to them, and gradually gather information. However, in practice, it doesn’t feel as well-developed as it could be. The detective aspect is quite weak, since the main clues basically attach themselves to suspects automatically, so there isn’t much real deduction required. The game features three story missions and a Free Roaming mode. Despite the realistic setting, it also introduces elements of mystery, fantasy, and sci-fi. One notable issue is the Passidex system - its buggy. Because of this, unlocking all achievements can be difficult or even impossible without using a 100% save file. The game is also touches on many social and political themes, which may not be for everyone. Overall, it’s a mediocre experience. It looks atmospheric, but doesn’t fully deliver on its gameplay potential. Neutral Review.

A moody visual novel about being a taxi driver in Paris under the thumb of the police, pushed into investigating a murder. it's got great atmosphere and writing but perhaps a little repetitive and too unstructured to be a compelling game. Still, I enjoyed "solving" the murders and talking to the customers. I just wish the free roaming part, where you just play at being a taxi driver and talk to all the customers had a save system so you didn't have the same first encounter conversation each time you play.

Enjoyable but repetitive especially if wanting to get achievements... Enjoyable short-ish game, partially about being an undercover detective and partially about the passenger stories you come across. It's a good concept for a game though I have played a slightly similar one before (Neocab). The passenger stories vary from heartfelt to truly bizarre. Few of them help you solve the cases though these are relatively straightforward, especially one though it's perhaps intended as a double bluff. It has some social commentary - leftwards leaning politics, but so do a lot of games, and I didn't mind this. The main gripe is the repetitiveness - they could have changed the openers for the 3 separate stories. Some characters have variable storylines which can be interesting but can also be a bit frustrating, trying to get them all (that does comprise some of the achievements). In the end, I just wasn't bothered enough to keep playing the same passengers over and over. Get it on sale and enjoy a few hours of escapism.

I finished the first story and it was awesome.

Very good game. but In my opinion, ruined by lacking mechanics and dialogue options, sometimes feels contradictory. overall good writing, story and characters, but focuses at times too much on political issues and forces itself to where it feels unfitting. 7.3/10
