The Noir Syndrome Beta has just been released! Check out the trailer below and read on for more info on how to get in on the action!
Noir Syndrome has come a long way since it's initial announcement almost half a year ago. I've worked mainly alone on the game for the entirety of development. Luckily, I received great moral support from a number of people and fans over the past few months. Eventually, I was able to get in touch with Bombadeer Studios to produce both an excellent soundtrack and a killer set of sound effects. If you're wondering who worked on this game, here's a little credits image to clear things up.
IndieDB has provided a great community so far. I'm very thankful for all of the views and positive support I've gained through this site. Therefore, I want to give back to the community by providing users access to the exclusive beta.
If you want to be a part of the beta, just leave a comment here or send me a direct message. I'll get back to you with details on where to get it. The beta is staying exclusive for a few reasons, but one of the major points is that I want to include a short survey with the game. Feedback helps me improve and provide a better game overall. Together we can make sure this game is perfect for release. If you get your hands on a beta copy, you should be greeted with a title screen that looks like the one below.
So, basically, just contact me! I'll hook you up with a copy and then I can get ready for all kinds of feedback. Thanks again, IndieDB!

I would love to participate in the beta. I love noir films and books, Raymond Chandler's stuff is particularly awesome. Sign me up!
I'm always looking to play a good mystery!
Looks like Carmen Sandiego with a noir twist--I'd love a chance to play a copy!
I'd love to participate in the beta thanks!
I'd be glad to play the beta if given the chance! :D
I'd love to check out the beta if you're still looking for more testers. I've been following this since I saw it on your site a month or so ago. Looks great! I love the art style you've got going on.
I would love to participate the beta please, I have been watching this game since last year as it's seems very interesting :D
This looks way cool. I'd love to test it out if you need more.

I'm interested in the beta. Love the stuff you guys do (I'm a friend of Brett)
how the hell did this many comments appear overnight?
Looks like the game broke in to the top 10 overnight. Quite pleased with the results so far!
This looks incredible. Would love to try/give feedback on the beta.
I've had an eye on this for a while. Looks good. I'd be happy to help with feedback :)

I'd love to check out the beta and give some feedback if you're willing to send a copy!
The game looks pretty fun and I would love to join in on the beta if you still have any space!
I would be delighted to be part of the beta
Played this game for two hours solving 3 cases. i commend you my good sir, you hit the nail on the head with this game. I would love some sort of motive aspect to the game, like one guy having bad relations with someone then murdering him, or something similar. Crime scene investigation could be improved with the body being there, figuring out how they were killed(With knives, blunt objects, etc etc.). Interrogation would be cool too.

This looks like a super interesting way to use procedural generation. I'd love to try out the beta
I am really interested in procedural stuff. Planning to work on procedural content generation on my Masters degree next year. Would love to join beta.
I'd love to try out a copy!
Honestly, this is looking great and i would be wiling to be in the beta, if it's still possible.
Yeah I would also love to get in on the beta if possible. Greenlighted it on steam because it really looked different. I hope it's gonna be good:)
I really hope this gets greenlighted! I'd love to play the beta too!
I'd love to get a chance to play the beta. Exactly the kind of game I've been looking for!
I'd be glad to play the beta if given the chance, i love mystery games done right.
Would love to try out this game.
I'm keen to help with beta too.
I just read about this on Joystiq, this sounds amazing and I'd love to help beta it.
I know I'll get slack for this, but is the beta only for Windows? I'd love to test it.
I just read the piece on Joystiq. Already voted yes on Greenlight. I'd love to try the beta.
I am just about to vote yes on greenlight for this, and have watched the trailer and I would love to have access to the beta! I'm already getting Sid Meier's Covert Action vibes with this.
i would love to have a copy looks awesome
sorry that's me but really this game looks awesome i'd love to get my hands on a beta copy of it
Hey! Looks amazing!! Which programming language are you using to write your own custom game engine? May I have a copy of the beta release?
Id like a Beta copy!
Man, this looks fantastic! I've been getting my feet wet with procedurally-generated games recently, and I never really thought about putting that within the detective noir genre. I'd love to try the beta if there's room for me!
Hi! I want to receive a beta key for testing this game :)
