NoseBound is a modern style point and click adventure game that proposes an entangling detective story. By combining entertaining puzzles and dramatic scenes of action, the game sinks the player in a charmed, churned circle of deception, noire ambiance and a very peculiar opponent. Key Features • Pick-up Items, combination, basic crafting. • Black & white Filters, Film noise, Scratches • NP Characters with dialog options • Puzzle mechanisms. • Ladders, and other physical improvements of the character • Pick-lock, breaking windows, and other alternate difficulties. • Gunfights, duel combat, chasing, on special occasions to emphasize drama. In NoseBound, you play as the character Ray Hammond, a private eye with a gritty past and unorthodox methods to pull off his job. The story brings you back and forth, from the end to the very beginning. Yours is the chance to find out what happened, how it happened, and to live the story by yourself. The phone rings, you equip yourself with the basic detective gear and off the office you go. You start the investigation, interrogate some contacts, snoop around following clues, and as soon as you poke your nose deep enough, the big troubles begin. Troubles you may solve with your wits, or your guns. NoseBound is heavily inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, (The Call of Cthulhu) Raymond Chandler, (The Big Sleep) Dashiel Hammet (Red harvest). There is also a great work of reference on several Occult authors. Such as Aleister Crowley, Eliphas Levi, Papus and even Cornelius Agrippa. And when we say inspiration, it means that the game is not a transcript of any of these authors plays but aims, by the combination of this mixture of elements, to achieve something new and flesh, I mean, fresh.

Press reviews: “Quarantine Interactive brings us a graphic adventure built on the genre's foundations to tell a story filled with blood, mystery, and supernatural elements.” 60 – Malditos Nerds “NoseBound, from the Argentine studio Quarantine Interactive, rests on the genre's three fundamental pillars: exploration, puzzles, and narrative. All to deliver an old-school experience featuring a noir aesthetic and elements drawn directly from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.” 70 – Press Over “NoseBound is an intriguing, noir detective adventure – an unusual narrative brought to life by well-executed writing, greyscale graphics with vividly tinted accents, and a sinister soundscape.” 70 – Adventure Gamers 

Notes: NoseBound is an adventure game intended for an adult audience only. We wanted to deliver a mature story with no restrains. The subject itself is from an obscure nature, there's gore violence, sexual content and adult language, so it's not suted for kids under 18.
