Noire is a violent crime thriller that blends breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience. Search for clues, chase down suspects and interrogate witnesses as you struggle to find the truth in a city where everyone has something to hide.

Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps is an LAPD detective thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success. Corruption is rampant, the drug trade is exploding, and murder rates are at an all-time high. In his fight to climb the ranks and do what's right, Phelps must unravel the truth behind a string of arson attacks, racketeering conspiracies and brutal murders, battling the L.A. underworld and even members of his own department to uncover a secret that could shake the city to its rotten core.

In this playthrough, we cover:

Chapter 2: Traffic Desk

A Marriage Made in Heaven: Phelps and Bekowsky investigate the hit-and-run death of Lester Pattison outside Ray’s Café. At first glance, it seems like a tragic accident, but evidence—including witness testimonies and a bloody tire iron—unveils a heated domestic dispute between Lester and his wife, Lorna. The case escalates when it’s revealed that Lorna conspired with the café owner, Leroy Sabo, to murder Lester for insurance money.

The Fallen Idol: Phelps and Bekowsky delve into Hollywood’s darker side when a car crash involving actress June Ballard and teenage model Jessica Hamilton leads to disturbing revelations. Evidence points to a twisted scheme of exploitation by producer Mark Bishop, who used his power to abuse aspiring young women. Phelps navigates the glitz and grime of Tinseltown to expose the truth and bring Bishop to justice.

DLC Case:

A Slip of the Tongue: Phelps and Bekowsky are called to investigate a stolen car found during a routine traffic stop. What begins as a minor case of auto theft leads to uncovering a large-scale vehicle fraud operation involving counterfeit pink slips. The investigation connects to the illegal dealings of Bigelow's warehouse and sheds light on a criminal network exploiting the city’s automotive industry.
