Description: Madrid Noir is a 45-minute mystery adventure that unfolds across two acts in this VR film. After her estranged uncle is declared dead, a disenchanted young woman arrives in Madrid to empty the apartment that he left behind. Lola is soon compelled to dig into her memories, where she’ll pick up her uncle’s shadowy trail and attempt to piece together the puzzles of the past. Staged as an awe-inspiring theatre production, this charming escapade plays out across a city that lives in the night, a Madrid now lost to time.

Review: ‘Madrid Noir’ is a slightly interactive animated movie in which you will be playing the role of Lola, but only now and again/not all the time. Most of the time you will be simply watching the story unfold. To be fair to this 40 minutes experience all the charters are well animated and the virtual environments/scenes look great. But this really isn’t something you will play more than once which does make the £6.99 price a little steep. If you can grab this for a bit cheaper you will appreciate it a little more. It, funny and immersive anyway, just a little short on content.
