Genre: Action

Developer: Terminal Reality

SCREENSHOTS

Quote:
Nocturne is a third-person action/adventure horror title from Terminal Reality and The Gathering of Developers. In Nocturne you play The Stranger, a dark mysterious character. The story is broken down into four chapters of which are each broken down into five or more missions. The chapters can be played in any order as there are no links to the story between the individual chapters. With beautiful 3D scenes and spooky environments Nocturne is due to invoke some fright in the casual gamer.


Loved this game back in the day. I'm still rather unsuccessful at getting it to run Sad

EPIC game! Man, I absolutely loved this back when it came out - it was not only great fun to play, but, for the time, it also had some of the loveliest visual effects I can remember. Especially the physics effects on his cloak and the general lighting and shadowing. The shadows was absolutely gorgeous.

HUH???!!! Vista 32bit works fine , Win7 64bit works fine right from the box
dunno what your problems are but this game works perfect for me

another info:
too bad they didn't made a full sequel only 5 spin-offs
Blair Witch 1 , 2 and 3
Blood Rain 1 and 2

edit: thinking more about it guess you have the black screen problem for not having real Indeo Video Codecs for those 6 avi movies with real actors , get them or just press ESC on those black screens , those movies are played after you finished one chapter
Intro :
Movie 1 :
Movie 2 :
Movie 3 :
Movie 4 :
and the ending movie credits with that awesome goth song (found only the song not the ending movie )

edit: found it here is the ending movie after this one the credits roll

Looks like I missed this one. Is the adventure side prevailing on the action or is it the other way round?

Think of it a bit like resident evil but you have more control over the aim

if you have problems try this http://www.fileplanet.com/36159/30000/fileinfo/Nocturne-Patch-2-(Build-1.00.52)

Code:
1. This version of Nocturne fixes problems with hardware mixing and SoundBlaster Live cards.

 2. This version of Nocturne allows 2MB ATI 3D Expression cards to start Nocturne.

 3. This version of Nocturne fixes various script anomalies that could prevent Nocturne from operating correctly under unusual circumstances. An example is little Tommy will start his dialog in the church even if he has somehow gotten stuck on a pew.

 4. The ambient sound for Act 1 will now play, but only if you have done a complete install.

 5. This version of Nocturne includes a fix that allows Voodoo3 cards running the 1.03.00 drivers (or later) from 3Dfx to run at full speed with hardware acceleration.

tested it on my render work station with a gainward GTX 660 2GB ... still works fine in hardware mode but Hardware mode was only available only after i installed this 2.0 patch ...

so on GT 9600 in win7 it runs out of the box but on a GTX660 you need that patch

well you have some issues with your win7 installation then. disabled some services or deleted some files most likely.

try compatibilty modes, if thats not helping, then definitely an issue on your end cause the game installs fine on a clean win7 64bit install.
