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.

Decent time waster
There are some plot holes, but it’s a decent story overall. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on it, though. Replayability seems like it would be a bit of a slog due to not being able to skip scenes if you wanted to.

Really good investigation game
Good game to play with controller (I am using a ps4 and/or ps5 controller) Quick time events could be a trick when you do have to keep spamming the buttons.
