Sockpuppet Noir

Sockpuppet Noir is a detective game set in New Drawer, a corrupt city where private detective Frank Sockowski—a woolly sock—investigates crimes. You gather information by interrogating people, examining crime scenes and picking up gossip at the local bar. As the story progresses, you unlock clues and can arrest your main suspect when you are confident in your findings.

The cases

The game has three cases, each with around 2–3 hours of gameplay:

• Shot and Directed: At the Holeywood studio, a pistol fires during a hero-versus-villain climax. Sockowski investigates production fraud, actress drama and cinema fanaticism to uncover the crime.
• Puppets of Power: A murder in New Drawer's richest district tests Sockowski's skills. The case involves a district attorney with ties across society and a newly millionaire widow who is grieving.
• Stabbed at Sea: Aboard the S.S. Herringbone, Sockowski and a new femme fatale ally investigate a murder before it happens. The lights go out, the world turns upside down, and no one will be left alive to enjoy the chef's famous Charlotte cake.
