Completed Backbone.
It’s quite short, just 4 hours, and since there are almost no puzzles, it’s mostly just story.
We follow the science lead. Get into the lab. The Artifact is kind of a black goo that is able to create hybrids. Also, this is a postapocalyptic world where humans are apparently long extinct. The Artifact gets into us. That’s… unexpected.
From here, game turns into Weird.
There’s a fantastic scene where we walk through a crowd during a festival.

We meet our friend, Anatoly, the taxi driver. And that thing kills him.
We lay low with the homeless people. But the mafia finds us eventually and captures us, to experiment on the Artifact. There is a bunch of pointless inner dialogues, after which we escape. And… suddenly, that’s it. We are told that the mafia boss plans a revolution, our partner decided to work for her, and our hero either dies beyond the Wall or mutates beyond recognition.

Well, that’s a depressing turn of events.

Yet another detective noir adventure with furries. Not point-and-click though. At least not entirely. And with some elements of stealth.

We play as a private detective, of course, who’s hired to follow a husband that frequents a certain nightclub, so his wife could get a divorce. We find the husband in the basement of the club, not only dead, but also prepared to become someone’s roast.

We pair with a reporter to follow the suspicious trucks that have been seen around the nightclub. The meat is being delivered to a wealthy ape, who happens to be Minister of Science. Are rich people eating poor people?

We follow some leads on the missing prostitutes from the nightclub. Turns out one of them was spying on the wealthy clients for the nightclub owner, Bloodworth. Science minister and one of his employees mentioned “Project Artifact” a couple of times. We also get a visit from Bloodworth, and some beating from her henchman.
