Version 1.5 Now Available

Noir Syndrome Version 1.5 is now available for all users!

As I had stated in the preview: if you've already played the game before the update, I recommend clicking 'Tutorial' and checking out the backstory. As for the Hunt Club, besides just being a new area to investigate, there are some mysterious happenings there. They don't just let anyone in on their secrets though - you'll have to figure that part out yourself.

If you missed the patch notes, take a quick look below to see what's new!
