"Blacksad: Under The Skin" Receives A New Gameplay Video

Microïds released a brand new gameplay video this week for Blacksad: Under The Skin, showing off 25 minutes of footage from the story. We've seen bits and pieces from the game so far, but this one reveals a lot more of what's going on, so it is spoiler heavy. If you don't wish to learn more, avoid the YouTube link below. Otherwise, enjoy this extended look into Blacksad: Under The Skin.

Investigation phases and deduction

As the story progresses, players will be able to explore the game areas (with more or less freedom depending on the situation), in order to find clues and question potential witnesses.  Blacksad must analyze the clues gathered to draw conclusions. This deduction system enables players to link up various elements (clues, observations, etc.) in order to come up with theories and open up new leads. If the association work matches up, the detective will come to a conclusion. If the deduction fails, the clues will remain available for a new attempt.

Multiple choice dialogue

Dialogue scenes offer players the chance to move the conversation in different directions. They will need to choose the options they think will be the most useful to their investigation. These choices will decide Blacksad's development and relationships, as well as future opportunities. Players will have the option to remain silent during certain exchanges, directly affecting his profile, unique to each player.

Cat senses

Being a cat gives Blacksad several significant advantages. His sharp feline senses like his vision, smell and hearing will help analyze certain situations with more depth. By doing so, players will be able to identify previously inaccessible details.
