I want to like this game. But, man, was it clunky. If there's another one, hopefully they can partner with Telltale or a similar developer to polish the gameplay.

While a bit buggy at times, it's a great Noire detective game with fun puzzles and interactions

A decent game that provides a compelling mystery. Definetly recommended if you're a fan of Blacksad graphic novels since it captures the style of the series well. The game is quite buggy however.

A fun but ponderous detective game. If you're into Telltale games, or want to solve an elaborate mystery, it's highly recommended.

Pretty decent game! Interesting characters, intriguing mysteries and it's fun to try and find clues and make deductions. Sure it can be a bit like 'i know what the answer is but I don't know where to find the item to show that', then you Google it and it's like 'use the clue' and then your like YES...
