Blacksad: Under the Skin, is a narrative-adventure video game developed by Pendulo Studios and YS Interactive, and I gotta say, it looks awesome. The animation is legit, the character models look great, and the game features a talking cat who is also a P.I. What else could you ask for in a narrative-adventure? Oh, right, pipe wielding buffalo. They've got that, too.
Set in 50s era 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. Taking on the role of detective John Blacksad (who is a cat), players will have to conduct this adventure their own way, however they see fit. But depending on their decisions, players will influence the relationships between Blacksad and the other characters as well as the very end of the investigation, so your usual choose your own adventure type game.
Blacksad: Under the Skin will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Mac on September 26th, 2019.
