Describing itself as ‘Game noir’, Third Eye Crime takes the nostalgic private eye theme, laden with sleuths and dames in need and turns it into a click-and-point puzzler with a comic book aesthetic. As you sneak your way through the expected docks, galleries and warehouses that have become synonymous with 1940s style shady happenings, it is not the gameplay, although faultless and challenging, that will catch your eye. Third Eye Crime is a visually and audibly wonderful game, with sliding comic strips to give background to levels and a jazz orchestra soundtrack that is just begging for the narrator to say something ominous like, “I knew something was wrong when she walked into my office” in a Brooklyn accent.
