Blacksad - Under the Skin is coming soon, DRM-free.

The 50s, New York City: Joe Dunn, owner of a boxing club, is found dead. Meanwhile, rising star Bobby Yale, due to take to the ring for the most important fight of his career, has mysteriously disappeared.

Sonia Dunn, Joe’s daughter, takes over the gym and must deal with its financial woes. She hires private detective John Blacksad to investigate Yale’s disappearance. This sinister case will take our investigator to the darkest, most dismal depths of New York.

With its anthropomorphic characters and its incredible 1950s feel, BLACKSAD: Under the Skin promises all the eerily dark adventure of a detective novel, just like the eponymous comic book series.
Thanks god, Pendulo Studios are releasing it here!!! And with audio in 4 languages!
GOG, please bring us their other games: Yesterday, Yesterday Origins and the Next Big Thing. Pleeeaaase!!

Xabyer_B: I had to buy it on PS4 to avoid Denuvo. It's sad when someone must to avoid his favorite platform (PC) to support one of their favorite studios.
So you traded one from of DRM for another? A console is basically a DRM box with spyware. If my only options were Denuvo on PC or a console, I would chose not to support that developer/publisher.

Noishkel: Well then I'm out. Until Windows gives us back full control over updates and the ability to fully remove telemetry I'm not touching any further version of Windows past 8.1. And by extension I won't buy any software that requires it. Pity too... the game does look interesting.
You do know that Windows has had Telemetry in it since Windows XP, and it's easy to disable. As of the newest build (1903) they finally let you turn off surprise updates and automatic reboots, you can now get notified that updates are available and chose when to install them. Previously, you've always had the option to disable the update service until you wanted to update.
My presumption is at the moment that the game requires a 64bit system. But some game companies begin to ignore W7 64's upcoming expiration date simply for legal reasons to cover their tailend.

I still hope when the release comes close that the developer will shed some more light on that detail as I am sure they want to increase their sales.

But even if they fail, I am confident the fan community of game will shed some light on this detail.
Am I the only one who thinks the main character looks like he should be voiced by Patrick Warburton?

Frozen: More like Zootopia was Blacksad The Movie for kids.

Meanwhile, "Inspector Canardo" is still too drunk and high to take any sort of credit for inspiring "Blacksad".
(( And for those who don't know, "Inspector Canardo" is a creation of Benoît Sokal who also helped designing "Amerzone" and "Syberia"-games when he was working in Anuman Interactive-studio. ))

idbeholdME: Why are rhinos always the villains? :/
They're big, they're aggressive and they're easily to irritate. In other words: they're the bullies of the animal realm.
Not to mention: they have a long history playing that role:

Looks like a great game, but like some others here, for me Windows 8.1 is the last Windows version that I play games on.
Dear Developer, can you please confirm that this is playable on Windows 10 only?
Are Mac and Linux versions to be released in the near future?

I'm torn, the game itself is visually spot on... but I don't know if I'm on board with John's voice, and the delivery seems rather amateur. :/

Merci for keeping us up to speed.
This might be the first time I see someone openly advertise QTE's as a feature (apparently there are *some* gamers who actually like them?). XD

In any case, kudos for the honesty, and I'll still keep an eye on the game regardless. :)

Thank you for your answer. I'll await the results and like Leroux, I dislike QTE's . I hope they are used sparingly.
