Black & White

No connection to the Impressionist master Auguste Renoir, here you must be playing as one of his long-lost cousins, a detective by the name of James Renoir. Or rather, you play as his ghost and his many alter egos. To discover how he lost his life, you’ll need to solve some tricky puzzles that will demand synchronised action on your part. And all within an unmistakable 1940s film noir atmosphere.

More than just a game, it’s a unique experience! You’ll explore a black and white game world that’s filled with traps. Platforms appear and disappear, blocky lava flows offer a way across a gaping chasm, walls become invisible in the shade and solid in light… The whole atmosphere is draining. It’s an internationally acclaimed game to play without delay.

A unique game for fans of crime novels and film noir. You’ll be diving into a dark bestiary where the protagonists are animal heads that walk around on human bodies. In black and white and with a jazz soundtrack, this game is a cross between interactive fiction and a Point and Click game, and the case you’ll be solving is incredibly well plotted and full of fun.

Here’s Beholder with its expansion. It’s set in the same dystopian world, and you’re free to be exactly who you want to be, even if that’s a real piece of scum! You might choose to spy and denounce, or go the other way and become the top member of the secret resistance on a mission to make your tenants’ lives easier. Just make sure you’re never apprehended by the secret police. A real indie gem!

An endless runner set in a desecrated world, all in black and white. Armed with your double jump, you have a choice: run or die. Your red scarf is the only touch of colour in this smartphone game.

Are you a fan of Fritz Lang, Murnau or Tim Burton? Then you’ll love this black and white horror game that will have you jumping out of your skin. Following a car accident in a mysterious forest, you find shelter in a sinister mansion steeped in total darkness. The atmosphere is palpably oppressive. Not one to play on a full moon, unless you’ve got nerves of steel.

The sequel to Beholder, set after the events of the first game, with a new main character. There’s no concierge here, instead there’s a young office worker setting out on a career in the halls of power, starting on the very lowest rung. He wants to climb the ranks to find out the truth about the death of his father, and it’s up to you to choose how: by collaborating or resisting…

A real gem of a puzzle-platformer! It’s based entirely on a palette of eight colours that you’ll need to manipulate to make progress. Is that a blue wall blocking your path? Change the colour of the background to make it disappear. It works the same for the other colours. It sounds simple, but get ready to put your grey matter to the test. It’s even adapted for the colourblind.
