Noirmancer (Alpha Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

BREAK IN THE BUSINESS, BLACK OUT THE WITNESS
You are a super-powered vigilante sneak in a noir-infused mega-metropolis. Turn to mist, shrink under obstacles, and black-out guards with a snap of your fingers. Steal secrets, sabotage their operations, and erase guards' memories to remain undetected.
ALPHA DEMO, BUT FAIRLY TESTED
This is a demo between 2-4 hours in length that I'm releasing in order to get some feedback. It's gone through a number of rounds of testing and refinement, and should generally be in a respectable state. I'm of course interested to hear any opinions about things regarded as short-comings.
FUTURE UPDATES
If you want to be notified when the full game comes out, you can wishlist it on steam, follow me on Mastodon, or use an RSS reader to follow my blog. Any should do the trick.
KNOWN ISSUES
There's an occasional crash that happens when attempting to load a save. If this happens to you you should be able to restart the game and continue from that same save.
It seems an NVidia driver update in March may have introduced a constant graphics glitch. If things seem off to you visually, check for any new driver updates and hopefully it'll be fixed.
PROMO ART CREDITS
The various bits of promo art for this game were made on commission by the incredibly talented Giovanni Fim. He was easy to work with, fast, professional, and delivered a high quality product. If you're a developer in the market to commission promotional graphics, I highly recommend him.
A zip file containing some variants of the promo art and some separated layers is available for download here on this page for use by any kind individuals who may be covering the demo.

I LITERALLY just heard of this site, hearing about this game, created a brand new account on here just to show some love and feedback.
i easily could type out a whole big article of how much i like this game selling on its unique grasp of execution and creativity. but ill put shorter like this:
truly creative style of passing levels
fun\sly cartoonish animation
in this game,your stealthy creative brain is the best weapon.
i could not be more happy with this, minus getting the full game when it is released!!!!
10/10 would recommend
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for your kind words. Solo dev can be a tough pursuit sometimes and so it means a lot to hear when people enjoy it. I hope the full game meets your expectations :)
A tough pursuit often surpasses a long road that leads to victory and success so Keep it up! I'm very excited to play through the full game!
I had an absolute blast playing this. Very exciting. Very much looking forward to seeing how the project comes together. Great work!
Thanks again for giving it a go, Cheese. Watching you play the first public build was very valuable.
Glad to hear. I've been absolutely swamped these past few months, but I am still very eager to come back and give newer builds some love! Hope ANZ Indie Fest goes well!
