A comic tribute to the Bogart movies of the 1940's. Murder at the Cafe Noir is an interactive mystery play. This forties detective story come to life features Rick Archer, P.I., out to find a runaway on the forgotten island of Mustique, a place stuck in a black and white film from the 40's. The owner of the Cafe Noir has washed ashore, murdered, and Rick employs his hard boiled talents to find the killer.
