Pixel Noir

Pixel Noir follows a disgraced former police officer who now scrapes by as a private eye in Pinnacle City. Ten years ago, pride led to the deaths of several people, including the officer’s partner, during an incident at an old hospital. With no evidence to clear their name, they were convicted after pleading temporary insanity. A strange new case offers a chance to settle unanswered questions and clear their name, while they contend with their sanity and the need to pay rent.
