A neo-noir investigation. Every lead is transactional. Every secret is lethal.
Shadow & Silk is a mature neo-noir thriller. It deals with coercion, sexual blackmail (by implication, never explicit), violence, substance use, and themes of despair and self-harm.
These are treated as narrative weight, not spectacle. You can adjust or disable each element below. Nothing explicit is ever shown.
Shadow & Silk — an adult neo-noir investigative thriller. You are Jack Harlan, ex-cop turned private investigator, hired to find Luca Monroe before Vincent DeMarco does.
This is a browser MVP built from the project bible: cinematic investigation, dialogue tactics, evidence as leverage, a physical case board, and choices that stain.
Pillars: noir fatalism with agency · every relationship is transactional · evidence is poison · the city is a character · violence hurts · adult, not exploitative.
