Dark Nights with Poe and Munro, then, is certainly an enjoyable experience. For fans of the FMV games, and of D’Avekki Studios in particular, there’s a lot to like here. Poe and Munro are solid protagonists to guide you through the surreal and zany story and appearances from old FMV favourites are the cherry on top, though some of the lost, more expansive mechanics may be missed. For those looking to venture into the FMV genre for the first time, the game’s easygoing gameplay, short episodic nature, as well as the aforementioned bubbly performances are well worth the price of entry.
The games’ neon, cyberpunk, neo-noir aesthetic is of consistent excellence. The vicious visuals, alongside an engaging synth-heavy soundtrack created by LudoWic that ebbs from dark and dramatic to dreamlike in the blink of an eye, allows you to immerse yourself and enjoy an entirely thematically-correct world.
