US Steam price, checked 47 min ago
A faithful noir detective adventure with a gripping story, jazz atmosphere and good voice acting, but clunky controls, brutal button-mashing QTEs and poor PC optimization. Skip it if you hate jank.
Great for
Noir and Telltale-style story fans, and Blacksad comic readers who can forgive technical jank, ideally on sale
Main risk
Bugged, frustrating QTEs, clunky controls and stutter can block progress or ruin the experience

“Game is full to the brim of quick time events, which are tied to the speed of the monitor, expecting a 60hz monitor.”

“The fact that there is a game-breaking bug in 7 year old game that causes you to lose nearly an hour and a half of game progress is extremely frustrating.”

“It's one of those things where Choices DO NOT matter as the game does not care and just goes with whatever the devs have designed”
