[h3]This Is Bullet Noir – Wolcen Studio's First Indie Title! [/h3]

Amid a turbulent gaming industry, we at Wolcen Studio choose a different path. We stand by our team, fostering their creativity and fueling their passion to bring indie games to life—projects they truly believe in.

Bullet Noir is the first release under our Indie Initiative, a program designed to uplift smaller, passion-driven projects. This initiative not only keeps creativity alive but also strengthens our commitment to both our developers and you, our community.

While working on the Early Access version of Bullet Noir, we also concluded recently that we want to take the reins into our own hands and self-publish the game.

Therefore, we invite you to step into the shadows and unleash a storm of bullets in a noir-inspired adventure. Don't miss Bullet Noir's demo, which is already live on Steam!

Hello and welcome!
Today, we’d like to share more details about our game, Bullet Noir. As the name suggests, it’s a twin-stick shooter, where every shot carries the potential for death. The game’s visual style is heavily inspired by the classic noir genre, with a dominant black-and-white color scheme designed to enhance the dark, gritty atmosphere of a world filled with gangsters and intense combat.



Our core mechanical inspiration comes from the cult classic Hotline Miami, but we’ve added our own unique twists, such as a time-slowing mechanic reminiscent of The Matrix. This allows players to slow down time in critical moments, adding an extra layer of strategy to each encounter. The game also features tactical elements, like the ability to take cover behind obstacles and approach missions in different ways. Whether you prefer to go in guns blazing or take a stealthy approach, the choice is yours.



Enemies in Bullet Noir are designed to be reactive and dynamic. If they hear gunshots or notice suspicious activity, they’ll investigate the surroundings, creating opportunities for ambushes or forced confrontations. The enemy variety is also worth mentioning — from basic guards to more advanced and challenging foes, the game continuously tests your reflexes and adaptability.



One key feature is the isometric camera view, which gives you a tactical advantage by allowing you to see around corners and plan your moves more effectively. This perspective adds depth to the gameplay, enabling you to make better strategic decisions and engage in more dynamic shootouts.

We hope you’re as excited as we are about the game! Stay tuned for more updates.
