The single-player story campaign, which is the only mode added by the creators of the Pixel Noir game, is set in a fictional city without real-world analogues called Pinnacle City. The main character of the entire story is a private detective, tired of life, who wants to get the job done faster, relax and smoke. Due to the fact that the protagonist takes very little money for his services, the first tasks are related to routine. These instructions can be called educational, added so that gamers have the opportunity to understand the controls and presented mechanics to maximize the pleasure of the gameplay process.
The gameplay is based on constant dialogues with the right to choose lines for the player, which increases the level of non-linearity, as well as on fierce fights with enemies. As the story progresses, the user makes new acquaintances and receives loyal allies who are ready to join the virtual protégé and support him not only in word, but also in deed, engaging with him in clashes with bandits and crime bosses.
