A Crowd of Monsters are excited to announce that the first two episodes of Blues and Bullets will hit PS4 on April 19.
The game is about a former leader of the “Legendary Untouchables“, Eliot Ness, who only wished to spend the rest of his life working in his diner and not thinking much of the cesspit of corruption his city, Santa Esperanza, had degenerated into.
However, things don’t go as planned, when he notices children suddenly disappearing. Eliot decides to take the law into his own hands, track down the culprit, and bring him to justice by any means necessary even if he has to abandon his dreams of a peaceful life and again get embroiled in shootouts with the usual array of assassins and hoodlums.
Helped by various (famous and infamous) characters from unexpected places, the player must guide Eliot through the increasingly morbid and decadent scenarios searching for clues to solve the case.

“We decided to make an homage to the noir film genre and create a unique atmosphere only using black, white, and red.” Dani Candil, “We used the same old illumination techniques that legendary film directors were using in the ’40s in an attempt to capture this classic but intriguing essence of noir.”
