Blues & Bullets is an episodic noir story, where the player will need to survive thrilling shootouts, dark investigations, difficult decisions and unexpected story twists in the skin of Patton, a former detective who struggles with his own demons trapped in a decadent city.

The action takes place in the fictional city of Santa Esperanza, where a retired Ness runs a diner where police and other law agents frequent. Aesthetically, Blues And Bullets touts an impressive graphic style based in classic American comics and noir fiction style. The script has been written by Josué Monchán, the same writer that created the script from Runaway and  Yesterday, among other great graphical adventures.


The music has been written by the multi awarded compositor Damian Sánchez, from the music studio Sonotrigger, and the main theme has been composed and interpreted by the Spanish singer Ïza. For the voicing talent, the title has used Doug Cockle (Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 2,3) as Elliot Ness, and Jules de Jongh (Faith from Mirrors Edge), an important character that will appear later in the chapter This title is our most ambitious game yet, and through storytelling and music, it will take you to the deepest and darkest parts of a tortured soul. Visually it will immerse you in a realistic comic world with a taste of German Expressionism.
