Ankh-Morpork is a city surrounded by darkness, where the cold river Ankh flows, where it always rains, and where dwarves and trolls co-exist with secret societies, religious fanatics, stupid police captains, and bar pianists. It is also where a bitterly sarcastic sharp-eyed private investigator named Lewton tries to earn a living solving bizarre cases. A mysterious woman named Carlotta hires him to find her lost lover. Wandering through the dark city and gathering evidence, Lewton has to solve the case, confront a sinister conspiracy, and once again become torn between love and despair.

The Grim Fandango that nobody played. Nobody played it back when it came out and nobody's playing it now, because it's abandonware and not easily accessible for the public at large. Which is a dang shame, because much like GF, Discworld Noir is a detective game steeped in thick atmosphere and boasting a witty script, a colourful cast of characters and an intriguing story that alternates between being broadly comic and deadly serious. It deserves not to be forgotten about and I hope one day it'll receive the same treatment that many of Lucas Arts' classics of the genre have gotten.
By the way, take my advice and avoid the PS1 version at all costs. It is a dreadful port. Get the PC version operational or don't bother at all.

I didn't get very far into this but I love the snappy narration and ambience.
A must-have for anyone who likes funny and exciting detective adventures.
