A fun point-and-click game. Definitely matches the vibe of a noire film set in an elementary school very well.

P.E. Noire has as much funny writing and genuinely clever game design decisions I think you can fit in 20 minutes. Not massively fun minute-to-minute gameplay, nor any mind-melting commentary - but still pretty damn enjoyable nonetheless.

Funny as hell and absolutely nailing the concept of an adult detective noir story but set in elementary school. Charming, cute, brilliantly written.

A cute, fun little point click adventure. Pretty entertaining for a free game, and the background track suited it nicely. It's a short game so it doesn't have a lot of routes, but one of the puzzles actually has two solutions which adds a little variety. What I liked most about it was how it was a parody of the noir genre. It might give you a chuckle or two.
