And it looks wonderful, with a mix of highly detailed 2D art and animation and impressive visual effects. Not to mention a style that nails the noir tone with the addition of fuzzy animals. In Backbone you take on the role of raccoon private investigator Howard Lotor, living in a dystopian Vancouver.
Check it out.
Backbone is a post-noir roleplaying detective adventure, in which you step into the shoes of raccoon private investigator, Howard Lotor, and explore dystopian Vancouver, BC, beautifully rendered in high resolution pixel art.
After years of small-time cases, lonely evenings, and just barely scraping by, Howard Lotor is swept into a job quite unlike any other before it. What starts as a menial case slowly unravels into something much darker, pitting Howard against the oppressive, systemic power hierarchies of the City itself.
As a side-scroller there looks to be a mix of platforming, stealth, puzzle solving, and investigation stuff too. Again, it looks awesome. Best of all Backbone is set to hit PC on June 8 and you can play through the first act right now with Backbone: Prologue on Steam.
