McCarthy, the new Tex Murphy?

We'll control the actions of Rick McCarthy, a prototypical Noir detective, guiding him through the resolution of a case where a raw reality, satanism and old legends blend gracefully creating one of the greatest ambiances I've found in recent adventure games. 

The whole game color palette is in grey-scale, save for some of the elements on the scenery, giving it that awesome "feeling". The story flows smoothly, and the way it's related is just brilliant. The first chapter of the series just creates the setting, but Hell, it does it in a way you can only think about getting the second one! The game is available for free, although the author, Calin Leafshade, humblely accepts donations.

You can download the first chapter from the AGS database, here.
