About A Darker Shade of Red

A chick has gone missing, and Mulder is on the case. He arrives at the last place she was seen, a worn down motel. Will he solve the case, and find the missing chick? Only you can help him.

A Darker Shade of Red is a fully voiced, jazzy noir point-and-click adventure game, filled to the brim with dark humor and shady characters. Help the private investigator Mulder solve the case, by exploring the old motel, helping the residents and ultimately confront the antagonist.

The visual style is gritty, and dark, with a touch of noir. The story is twisting and grim. How far will you go to find your chick?

Don your notebook, a glass of whiskey and your spyglass and go hunting. It's time to crack the case!

A Darker Shade of Red is Nickname Studio's first production, and we are very excited to share our creation with you. The game is built and optimized for a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, but we are in the process of testing for other platforms.

The game is free, and we hope you will have as much fun playing it, as we had developing it.

Would be a good game if you could save we you left off and not have to start all over again from the beginning. Cool characters and graphics and funny story line so it's a shame you cannot save where u left off. So I am uninstalling maybe one day wen they fix this problem I will reinstall and give it a 5 star rating#

H70%
by H####:

As soon as the lobby scenario appears, screen become unresponsive. Although I can still hear the sound. Completely made my phone hang, cant do anything. Eventually had to restart my phone by unplugged the battery..

K70%
by K####:

Crashes and have to start back from beginning. Had to tap on conversations up to 10 times to keep the dialog going. uninstalled after 3rd crash. Too bad cuz it seemed like an interesting game.

T70%
by T####:

First off this game does not have a save option so if you get a call while playing .... restart or if you need to get help with a walkthrough ..... restart. Next issue is the controls don't work well. Trying to move the conversation along is extremely difficult. Another issue is there is no help hint or anything should you get stuck. Could be a good funny game possibly but all the negatives makes the game not playable. Might as well turn on YouTube an just watch the walkthrough like a video.

I enjoyed this game thoroughly. I wish you could interact with all objects to hear what he says. More verity with all interactions is highly welcomed. But non the less, great game, can't wait to see what comes next. Edit: I played this game through so I have no complaints about not being able to save.

Good game, loved it to bits, but the accountant, and pig had terrible voice acting, also can you PLEASE change the look of the main character, his unibrow and ugly fur makes it a little annoying. Another thing is the ending, it's just weird, it needs more of a story about the whole FRANKENCHICKEN stuff. As a game dev myself I know it's gonna take awhile but please reply to this to let me know if you think I'm onto something. Do not give up on this game!

Short but Pro quality.. For a free download, or even if I had paid, it was a real treat. I love this genre of story and the point and click fits perfectly. Adult level humor and lots and lots of witty dialogue, puns, and intrigue. As mentioned, it is short, but TO BE CONT. so hopefully a next installment is on the way?? Fingers crossed!! Thank you.

This story needs to be completed! Great classic adventure. Voice acting and story is on point. Control is a little buggy when you try to touch the far left of the screen and walking animation could be smoother. Other than that, I love it! Please please please make more and continue the story!

OH MY LORD THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!! Would really love to see a sequel, or at least a second episode to purchase. I bypassed the annoying touch glitch, and thanks to that I realized I love this game with a passion. Keep up the great work!

But the game is unresponsive, have to tap like crazy just to do anything, especially talk to anybody

K70%
by K####:

It has a great story line. When speaking to characters the selections made are delayed. The game quits unexpectantly and it starts all over.

We need more games like this. It freezes after loading the first cut scene, though. Galaxy s3

The touch controls are really terrible and non-responsive. It could be a really cool game but it's unfortunately unplayable for me.

It seems you have released a broken game....imagine how shocked I must have been. No one can get anything right these days. ...... .....

K70%
by K####:

1st off the graphics and storyline are quite good. The game has a 2 big hiccups, however. #1. there is no save feature so if you get a call or decide to check the walk-through you must start over. #2. is the touch sensor. In many places you have to click on a single item 10-20 times just to progress in a conversation. Usually I don't mind a couple of issues (I've almost grown to expect them) but these 2 issues were a deal breaker for me.

T70%
by T####:

It was great but I wish the games was longer and also the conversations are impossible until you figure out how to do them(slide down to continue)

Seems like great game but freezes in lobby at beginning. Galaxy tab 3

It was a good game. Played that game until I finished it so I don't know about the other people saying it doesn't save. Anyways I can't wait for part two!!

Kept coming back to this because it looked exactly like my cup of tea. I was happy to find finally worked on my HTC One M8 after Lollipop update. This is more of a proof-of-concept piece than a finished work. I'd give it 5-stars if the user could save progress instead of having to start from the beginning after the app is closed. Good graphics, voice acting, jokes, and story line. I'd love to see a fully featured and completed work from this dev. My previous 2-star review: Freezes in the first scene on my HTC Incredible 2 (stock and Cyanogenmod 11) and my LG Spectrum 2. Crashes frequently walking around the hotel on HTC One M8. Looks great, wish it worked reliably

Seemed to freeze in the first scene, but I figured out this game isn't optimized for touch. Once I used my stylus, it worked fine. I had to still use my finger when I wanted to drag an item somewhere, but everything else responded best with the stylus. Other than that, it's a fresh, creative storyline, full of humorous suggestive phrases. Way too short, though. Ready for another chapter! (Galaxy Note 2)

So much promise but I can't seem to click any dialog with out clicking 100 times. Got through the game though in 1 hour. When's part 2?

I finished this super quickly, unless I did something wrong, this was very short even for a free game. There were no puzzles like in other point and click games, just using items u pick up to move the story along. I would like to be able to see if he finds what he is looking for...not sure if another game will be released anytime soon, but would great if it was.

I was really looking forward to playing this, but I can't even get through a conversation with another character. I tapped all over the screen a million times.. tried restarting the game.. etc. nothing works. unresponsive. Super disappointed that I have to uninstall.

Think it would be a good game but it crashes and stars from the beginning. I've tried 3 times and couldn't get past the pig without crashing. Fix bug and i will rerate game thanks.

I'm having trouble trying to touch the fingerprint button in every conversation to get to the next response. Had to keep touching or tapping it several times until I accidentally skip an important message. I find this so frustrating. Such a shame because I would have given this a 5/5. I know being a point and click game it doesn't do well with smaller device requiring touch screens, but seriously, please fix this!

I was really really really looking forward to this twist on an age old story. 9 outta 10 taps don't respond. Plz tune up & update....this looks awesome....

Gave this a 3 but I sooo badly wanted to give it a 5. The problem gas been hashed over by all the others before me. Unresponsive, flat dialog, glitchy on S5. Fix with an update (soon) and I'll be happy to give it a 5

This game is so RAW and i love it, its also so very clever with how they portray people to animals and make it fit so well and not to mention this game is probably best to those who understand the lifestyle cause it would help to and knowing makes it so much more funny and realistic(I would have paid for it to tell you the truth)
