Blacksad: Under The Skin - a murder mystery in the same technical vein as a Telltale game but with anthropomorphic animals, based on a series of graphics novels by a Spaniard called Juan Díaz Canales.
I play as a PI cat furry, John Blacksad, who is assigned the task of finding out why the owner of a boxing gym noosed himself. There's intrigue, NY gangs, choppy animation, frustrating QTEs aaaand racism allegories oh for FFS. It's really jarring hearing a furry describe themselves as black or white when they're a different species altogether, not just literally coloured black.or white. Yeah I get it's the 1950s where there was prejudice but come on, it's so damned overdone.
There's a neat "deduction" mechanic where you take information you've gathered through your investigation and put the clues together in a mind map. There's also a feature where you can zoom in on a person or thing and pick out noticeable things about them with your sight, hearing and smell senses which are acute because cat man.
It's alright.
Blacksad moves like a slow tank when you're moving him through the environments.
