'Night Call' (ALL) Update Adds New Passenger Stories, Free Roam Mode & More

Night Call is a is a non-linear, narrative-driven noire investigation game that puts you in the role of a taxi driver in modern-day Paris, where a mysterious serial killer is stalking the streets.

A serial killer stalks the streets of modern-day Paris. The body count rises, and the police are no closer to catching the culprit. You are a the last person to see the most recent victim alive.These next few shifts will be far from ordinary or safe...

Night Call is an investigative noire game with two goals: solve a murder mystery and make enough money to pay your bills. Your shift starts at night and ends at daybreak,as you try to earn enough to pay for your cab, your apartment, and just make a living. But when the police investigation gets nowhere, the officer in charge forces you to help by doing what you do best: getting passengers to talk in the little time that you have their attention.

The two roles you must play (investigator and cabbie) each have a set of priorities that may at times conflict with each other. You need to get enough information from the right passengers - but you only have them for so much time. Pick up the right passengers and ask the right questions to obtain new clues. Follow the right leads and uncover new info about the suspects... And never forget that your life is in the balance.

Can you solve the mystery before it’s too late? Better hurry -both the clock and the meter are running...

Raw Fury and indie developers Monkey Moon and BlackMuffin have released “The Long Way Home,” a significant content update for Night Call which adds a ton of new content and enhancements to the award-winning, narrative-driven, noir investigation game on PC.

Here’s what’s waiting for you in The Long Way Home update, free to download today on Steam, GOG.com and Xbox Game Pass for PC:

  • Free Roaming Mode: Sometimes you just want to roam the streets and enjoy some interesting conversations. Free Roaming lets you do just that — this highly requested fan feature is perfect for drivers looking to relax and fill up their Passidex!
  • 15 New Passengers: 15 unique new riders to pick up and chat with, including a disgraced esports champ, a ghost hunter, and a robot trying to escape from its lab.
  • Revamped Passenger System: An overhaul to the passenger system which helps players avoid repeat encounters in a number of ways, including highlighting new passengers and suspects on the map, increasing the amount of available passengers to choose from and more!
  • Technical Stuff: German language support added, plus bug fixes and other improvements!

Key Features:

  • GORGEOUS GAME NOIRE STYLE: Every character and location are lovingly hand-drawn in stunning black & white, evoking the pure tension of the noire style of art.
  • A VIVID AND ORIGINAL CAST: Meet dozens of original, surprising, realistic characters and share their lives for a few brief moments. Listen and help −they might have something useful for you.
  • INVESTIGATION VS. SURVIVAL: Will you forsake information for more money, or sacrifice your income to get the info you need? Make your choices quickly −time is running out!
  • MULTIPLE ENDINGS, MULTIPLE KILLERS: Can you uncover the identity of the killer each time? Be careful: a guilty suspect in one playthrough may be completely innocent in the next.

Currently available on PC (Steam), Night Call will launch later this year on consoles with all content from The Long Way Home update available at release.
