The City By Night

The City By Night is a 1920’s Noir style RPG set in San Francisco.  The player takes on jobs as a private investigator and solves them in their own style — through charm, stealth, brute force, and more!

Fend off Hunger, Exhaustion, and the creeping Dread of the job as you try to take on enough jobs the pay the rent and live to see another day.

~ IMPORTANT: The City By Night is in very early Alpha Stage. Lots of bugs and little content.  By purchasing, you will gain access to all future updates and are helping the developer build a unique and engaging game. ~
