Discworld Noir is a computer game based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld comic fantasy novels, and unlike the previous Discworld games is both an example and parody of the noir genre. The game was developed by Perfect Entertainment and published by GT Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows and the Sony PlayStation in 1999. Pratchett was consulted on the story and wrote some of the dialogue; he was credited in-game for causing "far too much interference." As it is a film noir parody, the game's protagonist Lewton frequently engages in hard-boiled soliloquy, or monologue.

The main character is Lewton, the Discworld's first and only private investigator, and former member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. His investigation of a brutal murder gets him involved in a sinister plot. The game's story line is a completely original creation, unlike the previous Discworld games, two of which were based on particular novels, and one of which was a mixture of elements from several. It is set in Ankh-Morpork, the largest city on the Discworld. The Discworld is the setting for all of Terry Pratchetts Discworld fantasy novels. ...

Film noir references Discworld Noir makes obscure references to many noir films, in particular the noted Humphrey Bogart films Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon. Some of the references include: Humphrey DeForest Bogart (December 25, 1899 â January 14, 1957) was an iconic American actor of legendary fame who retained his legacy after death. ...
Casablanca is a 1943 romantic film set during World War II in the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca. ...
Actors Bogart, Lorre, Astor and Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon (1941) The Maltese Falcon (1930) is a detective novel by Dashiell Hammett that has been adapted several times for the cinema. ...
- Lewton is named after horror-noir actor Val Lewton. Josh Kirby's Discworld Noir cover illustration features a wolf posed in a similar manner to the cat on the cover of the Lewton film Cat People.
- The Tsortese Falchion is a parody of the Maltese Falcon.
- The character of Mundy may be a reference to Thursby in The Maltese Falcon. Both die (and 'Thursby' almost sounds like 'Thursday').
- Al Khali and Jasper Horst are direct parodies of two charactes from The Maltese Falcon. Joel Cairo, played by Peter Lorre, is short in stature, named after a city and turns out to be the messenger for a huge man named Casper Gutman. In Noir, Al Khali is a dwarf named after an equally sandy city, and the lackey of a huge troll by the name of Jasper Horst. Gutman is rather rotund and to reflect this, Horst refers to the troll's shape ('Horst' being a geological term for a large outcrop of rock between two parallel faults. Curiously, this description also reflects his role in the game's storyline). Horst uses lines directly taken from Gutman's dialogue in The Maltese Falcon.
- The troll "Mount" Malachite is extremely similar to the strong but slow witted Moose Malloy in Farewell, My Lovely, and Noir's "Therma" subplot is almost identical to the double identity sub-plot found in the film.
- Noir's ending is an homage to Casablanca's, but with Gaspode substituted for the chief of police.
- Regin the dwarf coachman combines elements of three of the murder victims found in The Big Sleep. His employer, the wheelchair bound Count von Überwald, is based on the wheelchair bound General Sternwood in the same film.
- The line, "You know how to howl don't you, Lewton? You just pull your jaws apart and blow." is a reference to a line in To Have and Have Not, where Lauren Bacall says to Bogart, "You know how to whistle, don't you sweetheart? You just purse your lips together and blow."
- The vampire pianist Samael is named after Sam, the pianist from Casablanca.
Lewton: Play it again, Sam. Samael: You know what? No one's ever going to believe you said that. Despite being famously attributed to it, the line "Play it again, Sam." was never actually said in Casablanca. - Ilsa Varberg is named after Ilsa Lund from Casablanca.
- The encounter with Vimes and Nobby in Mundy's bedroom mirrors when the two detectives enter Sam Spade's apartment in The Maltese Falcon.
- Although not a film noir link, Satrap's use of the phrase "The stars are right!" is a reference to Lovecraftian literature.
- Also not a film noir link, the part where Lewton asks Satrap, if he had a spell that would destroy all life, and would he use it or not, is somewhat like when The Fourth Doctor asks Davros if he would use a vuirs that would destory all life, in the 1975 Doctor Who story Genesis Of The Daleks. In fact the lines spoken by Lewton and Satrap (bar a few chagnes) match the lines spoken by The Doctor and Davros.

Familiar characters In Discworld Noir, there are many new, original characters designed exclusively for the game. However, many classic Discworld characters appear as well. These include: Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. - Nobby
- Corporal "Nobby" Nobbs is one of Lewton's old friends from the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. He is in various City Watch Discworld novels including Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms and The Fifth Elephant. He plays a fairly important role in the game, offering Lewton certain pieces of information.
- Sam Vimes
- Sam Vimes is the commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Vimes never really got on with Lewton while he was a member of the Watch, and has despised Lewton since he was caught taking a bribe, something Vimes has very strong views about.
- Death
- The familiar Grim Reaper-style character that appears in almost every Discword novel. Death comes to take the Count's soul away later in the game and also to take an evil wizard's soul away when Lewton fights him off the Observatory roof. The only character who persists in constantly breaking the fourth wall by referencing, amongst other things, narrative causality, the gangster stereotype, and the freeform flow of the game itself.
- The Patrician
- The Patrician is only briefly heard through the locked double-doors of the Oblong Office. He talks to Sam Vimes and is mentioned throughout the game several times.
- Leonard da Quirm
- A genius and inventor who is locked up in the Palace Cells for his own safety or, rather, for that of the rest of civilisation, given how dangerous some of his inventions have been. Because food, lodgings, peace and quiet and all the raw materials he needs are provided for free, Leonard doesn't mind his incarceration at all. The Patrician occasionally finds uses for his creativity and some of his creations. Lewton encounters him via a secret doorway in his prison cell.
- Captain Jenkins
- Captain of the Cargo ship the Milka who talks to Lewton in the Cafe Ankh. He appears at the start of Jingo.
- Gaspode the Wonderdog
- The famous talking dog of Ankh-Morpork. Gaspode teaches Lewton how to use his werewolf abilities. He also appears in a number of Discworld novels including Men at Arms and The Truth.

Full list of characters This is the full list of characters in the game. They are noted in the rough order of which they appear in the game. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. - Lewton - the protagonist of the game; Lewton is a cynical and bitter private detective who later becomes infected with lycanthropy. Formerly a member of the Watch, he was fired by Vimes for accepting a bribe during a period of depression following the departure of his lover, Ilsa. After spending years as a drunkard and wallowing in depression, he became the Discworld's first Private Investigator; partially so he can afford to pay his bar tab and rent, but mainly because investigation is one of his only talents.
- Carlotta Von Überwald - a rich woman who hires Lewton at the beginning of the game to track someone down; she also goes by the name of 'Therma', given to her by her troll foster parents.
- Mr Scoplett - the first mate on the Milka; he picked up a bad case of Philosophy in Ephebe, which is a bit of a drawback when you are supposed to be navigating. One minute you are fine, the next you are wondering if anything can be truly said to exist.
- Captain Jenkins - the captain on the Milka; bitter and unhelpful. Desires a hareem of exotic dancers called 'Chantelle'.
- Malachite - an unintelligent troll of few words, sent by Jasper Horst to hinder events unfolding.

- Mankin - a half-elf bartender who doesn't appreciate people asking lots of questions.
- Sapphire - a troll singer at The Octarine Parrot, blackmailing Therma along with Regin.
- Samael - owner of Café Ankh and an accomplished pianist. Presumably a black ribboner as he is a vampire.

- Al Khali - a dwarf named after a city working for Jasper Horst; he is first discovered snooping through the drawers of Lewton's desk, and appears in Lewton's office later armed with an axe. Investigation suggests a theory that he is possibly named after Al Khali due to the unrelenting winds.
- Two Conkers - Ilsa's lover; a foreigner from the Counterweight Continent visiting after Cohen's invasion.
- Rhodan - a very forgetful sculptor, part-time plaster surgeon for trolls.
- The Watchman - an unnamed watchman on Pier Five who delivers the immortal line, "sharp as a pancake you are". In Lewton's own words, "blisteringly unhelpful".
- The Butler - a butler at the Von Überwald mansion; overuses the word "sir" and is stereotypically sarcastic and condescending. Worries about Lewton damaging the hardwood floor.
- Count Henning Von Überwald - a rich man and father-in-law to Carlotta; he is crippled and very ill.
- Mundy - a courier and the man you are originally asked to track down; he briefly had the Tsortese Falchion.

- Remora Selachii - an assassin who occasionally appears to add tension to events.
- Whirl - a croupier at Saturnalia, doesn't give anything away for free.

- The Doorman - a stubborn doorman to the Guild of Archaeologists.
- Laredo Cronk - an upwardly nubile tomb evacuator; a direct parody of Lara Croft.
- Gaspode the Wonderdog - a mangy stray dog who teaches Lewton about his werewolf abilities. He talks, too.
- Mrs Fomes - head chambermaid of the New Hall at Unseen University.
- Death - the harvester of mankind, everyone's favourite seven-foot skeleton. Useful to Lewon's murder inquiries, but reluctant to help. 'I WON'T SQUEAL, COPPER. I SAY, THIS IS AWFULLY GOOD FUN.'
