Night Call

Night Call is a non-linear narrative noir game set in Paris, France. Using the real city map (~105 km² / ~40.5 mi²) and the close, conversational space of a taxi, you’ll meet many distinct passengers to talk with. Some know things about the killer, others only claim to, and some simply need someone to listen. Beyond the mystery, Night Call aims to portray Paris as it is in reality—far from the usual city-of-love cliché. It’s a vast city in constant motion, filled with very different people, each with a story to tell. Together, those fragments shape a unique experience as you work toward uncovering the killer’s identity.

You are a taxi driver, and Paris is your city—you know every street and every corner. Your shift starts after dark and ends when the city wakes. You work to pay off your car, your taxi license, and your bills. Night after night, passengers climb into your back seat. Sometimes you talk; sometimes they do. You are more than a driver—for some, you are a priest, a confidant, a friend. You’ve grown used to the routine. Then everything changes. The police announce that the recent murders shaking the city are connected, and with the investigation stalling, they urge everyone to stay alert. You can’t let it go. The victims were all clients of your taxi company—and you were the last person to see the most recent victim alive. So you start investigating with your one real advantage: in your back seat, people talk. Listen closely, gather secrets and clues from your passengers, and stop the killer.
