It's 1950s New York. You're heartbroken gumshoe John Blacksad, struggling to make ends meet in the shadowy underbelly of the Big Apple. You're an anthropomorphic cat. That's not a joke, it's not played for laughs (Blacksad: Under the Skin is actually dark as the inkiest '50s noir novel): it's just how it is. A beautiful woman walks through your door. You're in trouble. Set in the world of the cult favourite European Blacksad comics, Under the Skin is a narrative adventure game that has you searching for clues, solving puzzles, interrogating witnesses and suspects and engaging in the occasional quicktime event. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Telltale, it's not a point and click - you're deep in this world, controlling Blacksad's every move as he tries to put it all together. And every decision you make will impact Under the Skin's ending. It all centres on the world of boxing. Joe Dunn, owner of a club, is found dead. Rising star Robert Yale disappears on the eve of his most important fight. Sonia Dunn, Joe's daughter, is left with a mess on her hands, and she hires John Blacksad to take care of it. You might show up for the twisting tale, but you'll stay for the beautiful, murky New York, populated with rich characters taken straight from the comics.
