About Blacksad: Under the Skin

About this game

Get to the bottom of a dark corruption scandal in the heart of New York City's underworld with your Blacksad: Under the Skin Steam PC key. In this story-rich adventure, you'll follow the charismatic detective John Blacksad as embarks on a brand new murder investigation.

WHAT IS BLACKSAD: UNDER THE SKIN

With its dark anthropomorphic characters and its incredible 1950s feel, Blacksad: Under the Skin promises all the eerily dark adventure of a detective novel, just like the eponymous comic book series. Fans of adventure games will love its gameplay and narration while fans of the comic book series will be thrilled to rediscover the characters and graphic style of this unique world.

A NEW CASE

Joe Dunn, the owner of a 50s boxing club in NYC, has been found dead. Rising star Bobby Yale, due to take to the ring for the most important fight of his career, has also mysteriously disappeared.

After her father's death, Sonia Dunn has taken over the gym and must deal with its financial woes. In her hour of need, she hires private detective Blacksad to investigate Yale’s disappearance in a sinister case that will take our brave investigator into the darkest, most dismal depths of New York.

GET ANSWERS

Conduct the investigation in your own way. You're no ordinary detective, after all, so make use of your feline senses as you hunt for new clues. Make decisions on behalf of Blacksad and influence the outcome of the case.

The choices you make directly influence the development of the character, as well as the story's ending.

TALK THE TALK, WALK THE WALK

Whether you are a fan of the original comic book series or just want to play noir adventure, Blacksad will satisfy your wishes. Point-and-click adventures are not as prominent as in the late '90s / early2000s and finding a good adventure today is even harder. Of course, this game is a product of modern times so there are things we didn't have in those old titles - like QTE, but everything else is here - story, items, and ability to forget about time... It's, simply, an adventure for new fans of this genre and old, grizzled veterans of Gabriel Knight and Monkey Island series...

Blacksad is entertaining and the artwork is great. It's a wonderful game when you are looking for something that isn't completely immersive. It's easy to play while you are 'watching' something else - either a program or a process.
