Backbone playthrough - Prologue (full demo level)
1People of Earth!
This week, it's a Point & Click adventure.
Well, not exactly, but it's in the same vein as a point & click adventure.
It's the start of Backbone, a game by Eggnut.
The Prologue was released as a demo of a kind in 2019, and I believe this was one of my 2020 "I can't leave my home because the end is nigh" discovery.
The full game, which we will start next week, released in the summer of 2021.
Backbone is a neo-noir story featuring a Racoon as the down-on-his-luck Private Eye hero, living in a dystopian post-apocalyptic Vancouver.
Our hero gets hired by a lady to look for proof that her husband is cheating, so she can divorce him and keep the kids (and probably the house).
So we embark in an investigation that will send us way farther than we'd hope.
There's gonna be some murder, some apes, and a plucky journalist femme fatale.
The game plays on the codes of noir movies, and references a bunch of neo-noir movies and games along the way. I enjoy the style used by the artists.
The gameplay itself is more an interactive 5-hours movie than a choose your own adventure game, but in a nice way. It's a bit reminiscent of the old LucasArts games of the 90s.
If you want to try that old school game, you can grab the Prologue for free on Steam.
See you on sunday for Chill Time.
