About the game

The Beat: A Glam Noir Game is a gay 3D investigative crime noir. Your role is to tangle with a homme fatal and find a killer. Each choice you make changes the rules of the game, so play it straight or play it gay, but play it smart - you only have seven days to save a life.

The Beat is available soon, in a playable version of the unfinished game, on Steam Early Access. A full release for Windows, Mac and Linux will follow when ready.

The Beat has*:

• A true crime narrative inspired by historical events;
  
• A stylish noir world recreated from real locations;
  
• A multi-option player experience (play it straight or gay);
  
• Real performances by actors/dancers created in-game with motion capture;
  
• Highly detailed character models by noted 3D artist Mark Payne;
  
• An advanced declarative AI engine responsive to your choices; and
  
• A full original soundtrack by DOS4GW.

* Not all features are available in the Steam Early Access version.

The Beat is a turn-based narrative adventure that takes place over seven days and nights in the dark heart of every city. Immerse yourself in the world and get to know the street life. Interviews with suspects turn up new clues and lead down darker paths.

At the end of each turn the declarative AI engine shifts characters around the world and replots the intertwined narratives, resulting in a reactive, living story.

Seven characters, each desperate in their own way. On the surface they are strangers but calm waters run deep.

Up Multimedia and Film Victoria present The Beat: A Glam Noir Game. This is the third release in a string of gay-themed games from the world’s only dedicated non-porn gay gaming company, Up Multimedia, and one of the few full-length games with a canonically gay protagonist.
