One fears their past, one their present, and one their future, and as a strange new threat comes upon the city, the three come together to try to solve the question: how do you help make the world a better place when you can't even help yourself? Series Finding himself in the metropolis of Zootopia, he encounters a trailblazing hare police officer who's starting to fall out of love with her line of work, and her partner (in more ways than one), a fox who quit the force out of a sense of spiritual urgency - but who didn't have a backup plan. Backbone is a post-noir roleplaying detective adventure, in which you step into the shoes of raccoon private investigator, Howard Lotor, and explore dystopian Vancouver, BC, beautifully rendered in high resolution pixel art. Press the Backbone Button to bring up the app and launch into your favorite games that support controllers. It also works with games like Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft and Genshin Impact.
From the dim lighting, to the persistent fog and rain to the stunning mixture of 3D effects and high-resolution pixel art, Backbone’s Vancouver felt tangible and alive. Setup is simple and charging isn't required as it's.
A living cityĭespite not making me feel like a detective in its gameplay, Backbone is dripping in noir atmosphere. Aside from PS4 and PS5 games, Backbone One also works well with Apple App Store games and supports recordings as well as streaming on Twitch. However, you will not always be participating in the same mix of stealth and puzzle-solving as you do in the game’s prologue. The lack of actual gameplay wasn’t an overall deal-breaker when the narrative and characters were keeping me engaged. Despite initially coming across as an aloof jerk, I enjoyed Howard’s interactions with Renee and many of his leads, where he demonstrates a great degree of humanity (raccoonality?).
Howard is a compelling lead, and many of the supporting characters he encounters, from the crusading journalist Renee to the jovial taxi driver Anatoly, immersed me in its world.
Basically, imagine if Disney’s Zootopia had the atmosphere of Blade Runner, and you get Backbone.īackbone’s free prologue demo ends on a hell of a hook, and the full game’s plot was able to keep me engaged throughout its brief 4-ish hour playtime.
By the end of the prologue, the detective becomes embroiled in a mysterious plot involving a nightclub owner and secret experiments being conducted by the highest echelons in society.
Desperate for a case, Howard takes on a job to find a missing otter whose wife suspects him of having an affair. The game is currently available on PC, with plans to release later on for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.īackbone tells the tale of Howard Lotor, a raccoon private eye in a dystopian Vancouver inhabited by talking animals. However, while Backbone definitely starts strong, it doesn’t quite stick the landing, and overall could do with a bit more substance. With its haunting atmosphere, brooding lead and a missing person case that uncovers a massive conspiracy, detective story fans will find a lot to like. Backbone is the animal detective noir adventure game that you probably didn’t know you wanted.
