James Noir's Hollywood Crimes makes you the main character of a mind-twisting puzzle adventure in an interactive 3D world! Live the thrill of mastering tailor-made mind games as you solve over 150 intriguing puzzles to explain a deadly mystery.

In James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes, you play a contestant in a TV game show which gathers the best puzzle-solvers in the United States. But former winners are killed one after the other and a criminal mastermind manipulates and defies the player at every turn.
