All about game Blacksad: Under the Skin

The classic noir comic series "Blacksad" has been brought to life in this interactive adventure game, Blacksad: Under the Skin. Set in New York City's seedy underworld of corruption and crime, players will follow the charismatic detective John Blacksad as he unravels a murder mystery within an underground boxing club.

The gameplay is reminiscent of Grim Fandango with a few new twists - you control John directly and can interact with only those things that catch his eye. This allows for more realistic interaction with objects and helps to create a sense of atmosphere as you explore your surroundings. The game also features branching dialogue trees which add complexity to conversations between characters. As well as this, there are numerous puzzles throughout the game which require you to use your detective skills in order to progress through cases.

As one would expect from a title based on noir comics, Under the Skin features some beautiful visuals that truly capture the dark yet vibrant feel of its source material. From dimly-lit back alleys filled with shady characters lurking around every corner, to luxurious penthouse apartments where secrets are hidden behind closed doors; each setting offers something unique and captivating for players to enjoy exploring. Furthermore, it is accompanied by an eerie soundtrack composed by Jesús “Chucho” Valdés - making it all even more atmospheric!

All things considered, Blacksad: Under the Skin offers up an engaging experience that fans of both interactive adventures games and Noir comics will appreciate greatly - thanks largely due its gripping storyline set in a beautifully realised world full of intrigue and suspense!
