An interactive investigation by the most famous detective cat in the comics world conveyed through an adventure video game set in
the shallows of New York.
—
The rising star Robert Yale has gone missing and John Blacksad must find him before a decisive boxing match, whilst investigating the death of his coach, Joe Dun. This point and click story about a corruption case takes us into the atmosphere of crime fiction stories of the 50’s. This game is different because it faithfully follows the rules of comics and some of the composition reminds us of American film noirs. The cel shading technique used for the 3D characters allows shading effects that are reminiscent of Juanjo Guarnido’s stroke and leads to a greater immersion into that jazzy adventure.
