ADD FULL GAME TO YOUR WISHLISThttps://store.steampowered.com/app/865610/Backbone/ About the GameBackbone: Prologue is the first chapter in an upcoming noir-inspired detective adventure. Step into the shoes of anthropomorphic raccoon and private eye, Howard Lotor, and explore the beautifully rendered 2.5D pixel art environments of dystopian Vancouver. Howard Lotor is experienced and self-assured, but finds himself caught in the tedium of quotidian life. Most of the cases he works on are unremarkable domestic disputes. Odette Green’s case probably won’t be any different. Backbone's gameplay is a new take on point-and-click adventure, featuring smell-based stealth mechanics and extensive branching dialogues reminiscent of classic CRPGs. As Howard, you must traverse the different districts of a now walled-off Vancouver to sniff out clues, collect evidence, interrogate witnesses, choose which leads to follow, and unravel The City’s secrets.
