- The Discworld novels — Terry Pratchett
An original hard-boiled case in Ankh-Morpork. Pratchett interfered, on purpose.
Platforms
Windows, PlayStation
Fidelity
A 1999 adventure set in the Discworld, following the city's first private investigator. It parodies film noir rather than retelling a novel. Pratchett consulted, wrote some dialogue, and was credited with causing far too much interference. Windows first, PlayStation after.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read a few Discworld novels first only if you want the city to feel lived-in. Nothing here replaces a specific book.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first. The case is original. You will miss jokes, not a plot the books already told.
03
Why
This is the good version of a licensed game: new story, same streets, the author in the room.
