Neat. Almost gives me Dex vibes.


Wishlisted for now.
I've had my eye on it for a long time now. Noir point & click, actually good pixel art with unique art style. Still, with the big sale jsut around the corner, and me not exactly short on games anyway, I'll have to pass for now.
high rated
Just finished it. The game is REALLY rushed starting from chapter 3 and barely resolves anything by the end of it.
It has a demo if you want check out:

so half a game for the price of two games (of this kind, like darkside detective, strangeland, etc.). sounds great...

Damn it. Why is this so often the case with promising point & clicks? This, Jenny le Clue, Little Acre, Broken Age...
Finally, GOG has lacked a backbone in a while!

(Devotion joke, someone had too).
Raw Fury might want to have a look at Kung Fury.
yay!

thank you to the developers and gog for bringing this here.

been looking forward to it for a long, long time :)

I felt it's the combination of the writer getting burned out and the development time is closing to deadline or running out of funding. I wish they use more episodic style to compartmentalize the game and make the devs and writer focus more.

GOG.com: Release: Backbone ...beautifully rendered in high resolution pixel art.
Well, this definitely puts the "art" into pixel art.

As I remember this game has been coming out for quite some time so it could be both I guess. The whole ending of chapter 3 and forth felt like it was completely different game and the penetrability of science city was actually nothing short of a joke.
