Not that you'd realize on the first hearing as they are vague at best and mixed with blatantly false information and Red Herrings.
And another reasonably large chunk are outright spoilers for the game.
A reasonable chunk of his gibberish is actually true, and covers a lot of Discworld (and Discordian) mythology/history. This is a Shout-Out to out world Malaclypse the Younger (a penname for Gregory Hill), the supposed creator of Principia Discordia, which details the worship of Eris, the Goddess of Chaos. Conspiracy Theorist: Malaclypse, a servitor of Errata, Goddess of Confusion and Misunderstanding. A glitch causes the item to reappear in the spot where you found it, though. Shame it'll only work if you're a beta-tester or you've hacked the game", since you're supposed to have lost the crowbar by that point. Combinatorial Explosion: Attempting to use a crowbar to smash a glass case elicits the response "Great idea. That said, there's nothing stopping him from locking Lewton up somewhere and torturing him for days, as long as he keeps him alive. After Lewton finds out that the assassin Remora is stalking him, he consoles himself with the fact that Remora won't be allowed to kill him as he doesn't have a contract on Lewton. The soul he's collecting asks what kind of game it is.ĭeath: An extremely stupid one to play against someone who spends every second practicing his swing. Chess with Death: Death remembers once being challenged to a game of "flog" (Golf). "I couldn't have been more interested if it had had 'Plot Device' written all over it." Sure enough, while he can't collect it immediately, he gets to use it later. Chekhov's Gun: Lampshaded when Lewton notices a grappling hook behind the troll he's trying to question. The Chanteuse: Sapphire is basically an Expy of Ruby in Moving Pictures, with a song that includes the lines "The minute you walked through the wall,/I could see you were a troll of destruction". Canon Immigrant: In The Compleat Ankh-Morpork City Guide the list of cafes includes Cafe Ankh, and the pubs and taverns includes the Octarine Parrot, both from here. There is certainly no indication in the books that Lewton, or even the profession of Private Detective, exists. Canon characters such as Gaspode and Nobby Nobbs are limited to secondary roles. Canon Foreigner: All the main characters. Mooncalf: What were the odds that I'd get hit by lightning just as I renounced all gods? Blatant Item Placement: Discussed by Laredo Cronk. Genesis noir bug how to#
Bizarre Alien Senses: Gaspode teaches Lewton how to use werewolf "nasal vision". Big Damn Kiss: Lewton and Carlotta share one of these at the end of Act I. Barefoot Loon: Malaclypse goes around in sandals, which may be to emphasize his unhinged personality. Brown trenchcoat with leather added over the shoulders, and a matching fedora. He's been stabbed with the stolen sword he was searching for, but revived because his client had infected him with lycanthropy and the blade wasn't silver. Back from the Dead: One of Lewton's first lines is "I've never woken up dead before". It may be notable that their spokesperson is a young woman named " Laredo Cronk". Adventurer Archaeologist: The Guild of Archeologists is a lot like this. Adjective Animal Alehouse: The Octarine Parrot. 
The book Vimes would never try and railroad anyone but would sincerely go after the guilty party like a dog with a bone. Adaptational Jerkass: Captain Vimes suffers from this as he proceeds to persecute and make up elaborate conspiracy theories as to how Lewton could be guilty.Carlotta does too, but in her case it suits her accent. AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: Lewton consistently pronounces "troll" as "trahl".While the game in many places is an Affectionate Parody of Film Noir, it also plays many of the tropes straight, even if they are given a unique Discworld spin. Since this is an Adventure Game set on the Discworld and acted out through a Film Noir genre filter, it soon becomes clear that there is far more going on. The game starts as Lewton is given a simple case to find a man.
The game follows Lewton, the Disc's first and only Private Investigator. It was made by GT Interactive and released in 1999. Discworld Noir is the third Discworld Adventure Game.
