Some gamers might still remember Airline Tycoon, a silly and charming yet very challenging simulation released at the end of the 1990s. I loved that game, and I am happy that developer Big Stack Studios managed to create a very entertaining and polished casual game for this interesting sub-genre with Jet Set Go. It also proves that the classic time management formula still works wonderful if executed correctly.
The setting is 1930s New York, a city ravaged by corruption and decline because of the Great Depression. Private Detective Jack Del Nero receives a phone call at his Lexington Ave. office that sets off a series of events that involve, among other things, the great eclipse and the murder of his former colleague. Face Noir is an upcoming point-and-click adventure from Italian studio Mad Orange that explores these gritty themes.
