- Defragmented - our next project - is now on Kickstarter! - 30 May 2015
Hey everyone. As I had mentioned in the last major update, I've been devoting most of the past year to working on a new project. I'm still supporting Noir Syndrome - answering questions, helping users if they run in to issues, etc. Defragmented is a Cyberpunk Action-RPG that just went up on Kickstarter. If you want to jump straight in to the demo build, click here. I'm at a point where I feel quite happy with the prototype version and wanted to share it with the community. If you're interested in top-down shooters, action-RPGs, cyberpunk, sci-fi, synthwave, or a variety of neon-fueled scenarios, I recommend taking a look. Maybe even tell your friends, any support is very greatly appreciated. Either way, thanks a lot for supporting my first Steam release. It definitely helped drive me to go much further with my next game. Thanks once again everyone. I'll make sure to make an announcement…

- The future of Noir Syndrome - 27 October 2014
As you may have heard in my past updates or on our various social media, I have been hard at work on a new project over the past few months. I have, however, still found time to sneak in the occasional update to Noir Syndrome. Overall, the game is in a state where I feel comfortable leaving it as is. Providing additional free content for nearly half a year after release seemed foreign to many, but I loved improving the game at every step. As with all of my game projects, Noir Syndrome holds a special place in my heart. I cannot say that it will never be updated again, as I have gone back and changed games that were many years dead. However, I must announce that my focus is now shifting completely to my new project, Defragmented. For those wondering what my next project is all about: Defragmented is a third-person 3D cyberpunk action-rpg. Since this is, after all, a board specifically fo…

- Version 1.7 Now Available - 24 September 2014
Version 1.7 is now available for all users! As I had mentioned in the preview, this update brings a fair amount of new content with some nifty gameplay changes as well. The Post Office is an ideal non-violent alternative to the Hunt Club, and now both areas are considered "jobs". To go with the new job statistics are the first costumes that can be unlocked without collecting costume scraps. For players looking to complete Impossible mode and get the highest scores, challenge points have become even more critical. Now, every challenge point gives 2 starting hunger in addition to the old effects. To encourage players to try harder modes, solving a case on Hard awards 1 challenge point while solving a case on Impossible awards 2 challenge points. Coupled with the Hard/Impossible bonuses for completing challenges, you could earn up to 5 points in one game! There's plenty more to check out,…

- Version 1.6 Now Available - 31 July 2014
Noir Syndrome Version 1.6 is now available for all users! As I had mentioned in the preview, this patch is on the larger side. An all new "Sandbox" mode has been added that provides unlimited days and hunger. Additionally, the killer has taken to hiring hitmen to stop you from eventually capturing them. As you get closer to solving a case, hired hitmen will try to track you down and try to stop you. Anyone could be out for you, so pay attention to what people say and you might get an early warning that you're being hunted. If you missed the patch notes, take a look below to see what's new! New Features: - Added a new "Sandbox" mode (in addition to normal, hard, and impossible) - Sandbox mode gives the player infinite hunger and infinite days - Sandbox mode works in the Dinner Party as well, except there is still only 1 day - You cannot earn score, unlock badges, purchase scraps, or comp…

- Version 1.6 Preview - 29 July 2014
Noir Syndrome Version 1.6 will be releasing later this week. Compared to the past updates, this one is definitely on the larger side. An all new "Sandbox" mode that provides freedom from both time and hunger will allow players to experiment at their leisure. The other major change in this patch is the addition of hitmen. As you get closer to solving a case, the killer will hire hitmen to track you down and try to stop you. On the other hand, eliminating hitmen gives a substantial score bonus. There's plenty more then just those major features, so check out the full patch notes below!
