In Dark Noir the shadows don’t just hide criminals. In the darkest corners of the city creatures of dark legend lurk. Vampires stalk the alleyways, werewolves prowl the outskirts, and something beneath the surface is breathing. The city you live in, Ironport is riddled with corruption. Here the supernatural and the criminal underworld are close neighbors, and you are the few who stand between the innocent and the guilty, drawing a line when no one else will.
This isn’t a game where the lines are blurred—it’s a game where those lines don’t exist. You’ll dive deep into gritty investigations, unearth dangerous secrets, and go toe-to-toe with creatures far beyond human comprehension. You don’t fight to save the world; you fight to keep the darkness at bay for just one more night.
The question is: how long can you last before the shadows swallow you whole?
In Dark Noir, the streets of Ironport aren’t just dangerous—they’re downright deadly. Beneath the veil of rain and neon, monstrous beings prowl, each with their own twisted purpose. Here’s a glimpse at the creatures that will haunt your investigations and challenge your resolve.
The Vampire:
These aren’t your romanticized bloodsuckers. The vampires of Dark Noir are a terrifying blend of Nosferatu and something far worse. Bald and monstrous, with a serrated jaw that opens into a needle-toothed triangular maw, they are every bit the nightmare that legends warn about. Intelligent and cunning, they can move through shadows at will, making them a predator that’s almost impossible to track.
The Werewolf:
When werewolves hunt, their primal fury is unmatched, and once their claws find you, escape is unlikely. These creatures are driven by an internal struggle between the human and the beast, but make no mistake: when they turn, they are a force of nature, capable of tearing a man apart in seconds.
The Ghoul:
Ghouls are scavengers, lurking in places where death and decay thrive. They aren't just mindless creatures devouring the dead—they have their own twisted intelligence and desires. Driven by an insatiable hunger, ghouls prowl cemeteries, sewers, and forgotten parts of the city, feasting on flesh both living and dead. Their twisted existence raises the question: How long can you survive in a city where even the dead refuse to stay buried?
The Goorgish:
Beneath the veneer of respectability lies a creature driven by raw power and a deep-seated sense of dominance. Thick-skinned, muscular, and quick with a gun, the Goorgish are a formidable force. When they embrace their primal side, they’re nearly unstoppable, tearing through enemies with ruthless efficiency. They’ve learned to survive Ironport’s harsh streets, but when pushed, they remind everyone why they’re often monsters at heart.
