A Glimpse into NOLA Is Burning
Your boss, The Bull, the most dangerous gangster in New Orleans, has a job for you. Rescue your kidnapped lover–officially The Bull’s lover, but unofficially yours–before dawn. Slaughter everyone who stands in your way, including other gangsters, cops, and the Triad, as you slink across the underbelly of New Orleans.
"NOLA Is Burning" is a blood-soaked interactive noir thriller where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based–without graphics or sound effects–and powered by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Will you outwit your enemies or take it to the mattresses with your trusty sawtooth? Will you earn respect as NOLA’s most infamous headcrusher, or will you retire to Mexico on a huge pile of cash? To be honest, you’ll probably die. But in NOLA, death is just the beginning.
- Make deals with the cops, a Voodoo priestess, the leader of the local Triad, or a fallen priest.
- Mix old world magic and advanced technology in a fight to the death, and beyond.
- More than 70,000 words of interactive fiction, 15,000 words on every run through the game.

We dont really write a lot of reviews of anything, but we feel like it is necessary for us to write this review. First off, we think the game is just decent. It was a good time killer for us, obviously a great amount of effort put in and we enjoy the freedom it gives us, including choices that matter. But if we talk about restrictions, we will also include payments. We respect the developer or team that was behind this game and we also respect them earning money from it. But this was probably one of the games we consider not spending anything on. For one thing, the first chapters that are free are pretty short, with only around 5-10 choices in each one. If you choose to have it free, you need to wait 2 hours for 5 minutes of reading and choosing a decision. Furthermore the story sounds like self-insert fantasy and typical clichs that make the characters seem basic. Most of the time while playing, we cringed just by reading the options and the scene. It honestly sounds like this game was made by a 12-year old that wanted to make what they thought sounded cool. And we hope Im not insulting the dev because this game is a good COG Lastly we just wanted to give our thought on how we felt about this game. We like the game, believe us. Its alright. But its actually sub-par and mediocre we cant see myself just truly enjoying it, at least for us.
This is the second COG game we have played. We think this is not a must-play game. The story is kinds of strange at the second half and defiantly not as catchy as the beginning. It is okay to play with but there are other better options out there.
Well, because the voodoo cyborg dragon route plays exactly like the plain voodoo route, the plain cyborg route, the bullet-shooting crucifix peg-leg route, and the demon route. Also because the hallucinatory barrage of text you just read follows a dead-serious gangster thriller. We can’t tell if we’re supposed to presume it’s all a dying hallucination or what. What’s the point of feeling remorse, feeling no remorse, wallowing in blood, avoiding conflict at every turn, etc. If it’s just all going to end in a bizarre mishmash that sounds like a thirteen-year-old’s ideal action sequence? Also, in order to get anything other than the Demon ending, you must choose first to go for the kneecaps when captured by the Pitt’s men, then save the one choking on his sandwich. He will pass you drugs that will enable you to survive what follows. Having four out of five options locked behind a very specific sequence is… Dubious game design. The good part is that you can select your gender, the Bull’s, and the Bull’s spouse, as well as what career you take up if you make it to Mexico – or decide to take the city instead. That was a satisfying ending. Additionally, the game subverts the usual Chinese-gangsters cliches in most amusing fashion. IF failure wasn’t mandatory midgame (leading to the bizarre endgame), IF your behavioral choices made more difference endgame, and IF there wasn’t that utterly jarring off-tone sequence in endgame, this would get five stars. Instead… Uh… We rate it voodoo cyborg dragon/5. Judge whether or not you’ll purchase this game accordingly.
We wish your games were free like they used to be. It was a lot more enjoyable than having to see oops the free trial is over. Pay now or you cant play anymore its a shame and we really wanted to play the rest of this game but you make everything cost money.
Love COG games but this has to be one of the worst ones we’ve played over all. It was short, felt like the plot was bland, couldn’t even connect to the characters, and we could barely get replays out of it. Honestly if it was free we wouldn’t be mad but it just wasn’t worth the price.
The dialogue and attempt at lingo is cringey, the random cyborg leg is stupid, every character is a one-dimensional stereotype that isnt even ironically funny, and exposition comes out of nowhere for no reason. The MC has little to no personality no matter what choices you make and the choices themselves dont seem to actually affect anything. $2.99 is 3x too much for this crap. Hope this review keeps others from wasting their cash, excuse us, juice on this. Whoever wrote this should be ashamed it was published. Yes, that is mean.
We’ve played this "game" over and over to try and get the best ending. We love these types of games and we love the replayability aspect you get from these types of games that you don’t get from books or video games. There’s something about the hybrid between the two that strikes a perfect balance.
This game is just weird. We’re not used to stories like this.
This is another one of those app books that in the days of our youth would have been printed and picked up by us from the local library. It’s good enough to be published and read and enjoyed but it is very basic. It’s a bland story that lacks emotional connection to the reader and depth of character and atmosphere. Plus as with all choice games a short short ending. We didn’t care enough to re-read the story but still have it for the next time we need a timer killer app to read. Ages 8-13 would enjoy this book more then most we think.
The world is obviously thought out, a lot of characters even if they are all pretty unidimensional, we appreciate the Kubrick reference starting out, even if it feels out of place. But the thing is… The author is to in love with the scenario, some of the choices simply don’t seem to matter, characters (dragon-lady) are just thrown in there and spout backstory for no reason and unasked, we hit the paywall and quit, so we don’t know if the game gets really good after that. If you’re looking for that Noir fix, this isn’t it.
Starts out fantastic. Gets pretty weak in the last third. Final chapter is just pure dreck. It’s obvious the author lost their motivation towards the end.
We’re kind of regretting buying it, honestly. There are much, MUCH better COGs out there, and we would recommend most of them over this one any day.
We wish it was longer but only because we liked it so much! We won’t lie this game IS shorter than the other CoG’s that you can purchase but we’ve played it multiple times and we’ve really liked every single play through and we’re not big into Mafia stuff. Some parts towards the end were very unrealistic and…a little weird. HOWEVER, this game doesn’t pull punches like many of the other CoG do, this feels gritty, violent and dark like it should. It is a very fun, engrossing and enjoyable game complaints aside and we would LOVE if they would write or have another Mafia/Gangster 1920’s game. Not necessarily a sequel but something similar would be the cat’s meow ;) So buy it and just suspend your disbelief a tiny bit.
Honestly one of the best choice of games we’ve played so far. With a lot of hard choices, in depth story, multiple endings and insane plot twists. NOLA is Burning is a great game!
We have most of the COG. So we naturally bought this one. It started out pretty dang good, but then just got silly. Thought it would have been slightly more realistic, I’d say. We love sifi esque stuff, but this got to the point of,"Seriously?" It’s decent…
Totally lame. We liked this better in 1993 when it was titled "choose your own adventure"
The worst game from Choice of Games ever. Too short and horrible replay. Regret purchasing :(
We love all of the choice of games adventures and this one didn’t disapoint.
We love action packed choice games. This fit that criteria perfectly. We just wanted it to be longer.
And maybe had a more fleshed put story, everything happened so fasy.
By no means is this a bad game, it’s actually pretty decent. Compared with other CoG stories, however, the plot was a bit shallow. In-game choices had a lesser affect on the outcomes of situations.
