Genesis Noir is a part of IGF Celebration Days event on Steam!
Genesis Noir is a part of IGF Celebration Days, a digital showcase celebrating award-winning indie games, the Independent Games Festival, and the players who love indie games.
As the 2021 winner of Excellence in Audio, we're immensely proud to be in the company of other fantastic indie games, including Inscryption, Cocoon, Venba, Botanicula and Audiosurf, just to name a few!
Today, we’re excited to announce the follow-up to the much beloved Genesis Noir, please welcome Nirvana Noir to the Fellow Traveller line up! Revealed as part of The Day of the Devs showcase, Nirvana Noir is the next adventure for No Man. The cosmic watchmaker pursues mysteries across two parallel realities - one where the Big Bang was never fired, the other where it did, leading to an explosion of color and sin. It’s up to the player to solve the mysteries of the Bigger Bang when Nirvana Noir launches on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Double the Trouble with two realities
In Black Rapture, No Man labors to complete the intricate mechanisms of a clocktower but is disrupted when a series of arsons break out across the cosmic city.
Constant Testament is an explosion of color and sin. No Man is coerced by the police to investigate a dangerous new drug whose appearance is intertwined with an old flame.
Play will jump across the different realities in an effort to save both.
New mechanics, new tunes Like Genesis Noir, No Man’s previous adventure, Nirvana Noir is a seamless blend of animation and interactivity and is overflowing with unique puzzles and interactions. In a quest to solve these mysteries you’ll find yourself:
Reconstructing a demolished building
Mounting a legal defense
Collecting the last words of characters you meet
Finding skeletons in closets
Trying not to break under interrogation
Interviewing witnesses
Manipulating words to get to the hidden truth behind them
Following the word on the street
And much more…
Work to solve these mysteries to the tune of another amazing jazz-inspired soundtrack that reacts and responds to your actions. Nirvana Noir features both noir and neo-noir influences, as well as music-focused puzzles and interactions. All music and sound design in the game is done by Skillbard, an award-winning London-based team of composers and sound designers who work in film, television, games, sound art, pop music, and sonic branding.
There are plenty more Fellow Traveller titles on sale to choose from - so whether you're looking for something new, a bargain, some cool soundtracks and bundles, or even something to play on Steam Deck, we're sure to have something just for you.
Sale ends 1st October, so grab yourself a bargin and don't forget to leave us a review - thank you!
We're also thrilled to announce that three new games are joining the Fellow Traveller family; Scrabdackle, Wander Stars and Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo - read up on each of them below!
Wander Stars: Follow the story of Ringo and Wolfe as they join forces to collect the pieces of the Wanderstar Map in this turn-based RPG with roguelite elements! Use words to create your own fighting techniques, befriend your rivals, and explore the universe in an adventure inspired by 90s anime.
Scrabdackle: As a novice wizard, discover the intricate world of Scrabdackle and experience the impact wizardkind has unknowingly had upon it.

Patch 11856
Hey y’all! Here’s a small patch which hopefully fixes an issue in the Collisions level where one of the science experiment stages would not allow the player to continue if the game took longer than usual to load the next stage.
Also, a small note: Our small team is currently working on new projects. As such, we have less time to dedicate to Genesis Noir support. We will get to bugs but there may be a significant delay before we can solve them. However, as long as you tell us where you got stuck, we can quickly provide a save data file which will allow you to bypass the issue until a permanent fix is found.
