You’re the Private Investigator on a string of grisly murders, scouring for clues in a 3D side-scrolling world. Grab your fedora and revolver - in Hot Tin Roof you’re on the case! Dive into a noir mystery and become Emma Jones, the only PI partnered to a cat named Franky.
  • Noir as heck.
  • Metroidvania meets Adventure Game in a side-scrolling 3D world, with tons of platforming and exploration
  • 4 distinct plot threads, with 15 different resolutions.
  • Instead of acquiring abilities, you find new revolver rounds, which you load into your revolver yourself. Combine them in unique ways!
  • Scour the world for clues! Use them in conversations to unlock secrets, solve murders and more.
  • Cats. More cats than you could shake a cat at. Also, pigeons and rats. Many wearing tiny hats.
  • Spiffy chip noir jazz soundtrack.

It’s a dog eat dog world out there, but luckily? A cat has your back. Franky. The cat that wore a fedora.

What’s the history, here?

This was the first game we released that anyone noticed. It was also our first Kickstarter that funded! Whole thing was a lot of learning how to make a game, since our only prior game as a studio before this was a mobile title (Jones On Fire). We snuck onto Steam a bit before the flood of Greenlight games, if you happen to remember Greenlight. We were one of the last games let on through relatively normal-sized Greenlight batches before the Greenlight flood began in earnest, to kinda peg a moment in time.
