Where noir detective fiction meets Lovecraftian horror and the occult.
NoseBound is heavily inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft (The Call of Cthulhu), Raymond Chandler (The Big Sleep), and Dashiell Hammett (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.
By combining this mixture of elements, the game aims to achieve something entirely new and fresh — a unique blend of noir detective fiction, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and occult mysticism that creates an atmosphere unlike anything else in gaming.
Cosmic horror, ancient entities, and the fear of the unknown permeate the game’s narrative.
Hard-boiled detective fiction, gritty dialogue, and morally complex characters drive the plot.
References to Crowley, Levi, Papus and Agrippa weave authentic occult elements into the mystery.
The NoseBound universe extends beyond the game. Nauseabundo is the official comic book companion — a detective story set in the bizarre and disturbing universe of film noir. Published in print and available for purchase.
