In this review, Alexx discusses how Calvino Noir merges gaming genres, yet still has some issues, stating - "Calvino Noir is an interesting concept that attempts to merge games like Trine with stealth side scrolling gameplay. However there are issues with the lighting and the environment that can make the game somewhat frustrating for people who aren’t proficient at stealth games."
EB: Visually this game feels a bit like This War of Mine, albeit with much less depression and despair. It features a 2D side-scrolling presentation with stark black and white visuals with dollhouse style buildings (one side cut out so you can see in) to explore. In terms of gameplay Calvino Noir features a mix of stealth and puzzle solving mechanics as you investigate a mystery that is very noir.
