Description

A dark corruption scandal in the heart of the New York City's underworld for charismatic detective John Blacksad!



The 50s, New York City: Joe Dunn, owner of a boxing club, is found dead.

Meanwhile, rising star Bobby Yale, due to take to the ring for the most important fight of his career, has mysteriously disappeared.

Sonia Dunn, Joe’s daughter, takes over the gym and must deal with its financial woes. She hires private detective John Blacksad to investigate Yale’s disappearance. This sinister case will take our investigator to the darkest, most dismal depths of New York.

With its 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.

Conduct the investigation in your own way. 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.

10/10 if you love: Detective Games, Click and Points, Logic games this is your Jam!

Really good repeatability but being able to go back and do specific scenes or chapters in an Act, no need to do it all again, but it's so fun you definitely so you can get all those endings and achievements.

  • Can only Walk no running
  • No sequel :(

Just fantastic game to all gamers who likes old detective stories. First animal characters pop out to eye, but soon i got used to those. Actually it makes game it own kind and much waiting sequels if those are coming. I highly recommend this game to everyone. Graphics are good and mood in game also. Moving character might be bad sometimes but doesn't affect negatively much after all.
  • Nice graphics.
  • View angle is sometimes bad.
