The Agency
Adult Noir is a story you can talk to. It is set in the invented port of Harbor Vane in 1948, it opened in November 2026, and every client in it is an AI character.
What we built
We wrote 16 adult women, put them in a rainy city of our own and gave each a reason to hire a detective and a reason to lie to him. You are that detective. The conversation moves because she hides something, and not because a counter says it should. The old crime films ran on exactly that engine, and we wanted to see what it did in a chat.
A note on the name
The domain sounds broader than the site. What is here is typed dialogue and a portrait for each client, and a scene that goes dark the way a film of 1948 would. Nothing else is promised. Should a film of any client be made one day, the wire says so the same day.
Lines the agency will not cross
- Put you in a room with a real person. All clients are invented.
- Pose a character as somebody who exists, or somebody who exists as a character.
- Read your cases to an advertiser or sell them.
- Write any adult in the cabinet as anything other than the grown woman her slip describes.
