Blacksad: Under the Skin
Description
A dark corruption scandal in the heart of the New York City's underworld for charismatic detective John Blacksad!
The 50s, 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. This sinister case will take our investigator to the darkest, most dismal depths of New York.
With its anthropomorphic characters and its incredible 1950s feel, BLACKSAD: Under the Skin promises all the eerily dark adventure of a detective novel, just like the eponymous comic book series.
Conduct the investigation in your own way. Make use of your feline senses as you hunt for new clues. Make decisions on behalf of Blacksad and influence the outcome of the case.

A great investigative story
If you like investigations and a story that changes depending on your choices, then this is the game for you. Better with a controller, since the porting to mouse+keyboard has less accuracy.

wasted my money
Stuck at first major hurdle, input consists of slamming space key VERY fast to fill a timer...can NEVER get it past 50% with any setting from forum hints. I tried a controller too as game was originally console, sees the controller but does not respond to any button presses. Basically now unplayable so is uninstalled. Would not recommend this game to anyone, no matter how cheap it is. Would have been a nice game, but for control issues..instead just gathering dust in my GOG library
