## About This Game
Backbone: Prologue is the demo of an upcoming noir-inspired detective
adventure. Step into the shoes of Howard Lotor – anthropomorphic raccoon and
private eye – and explore the beautifully rendered 2.5D pixel art environments
of dystopian Vancouver.

Howard Lotor is smart, self-assured and set in his ways. Caught in the tedium
of day-to-day life, he’s resigned to the abuses of the authoritative regime in
power and compliant with the systemic inequality that permeates society. Most
of the cases he works on are unremarkable domestic disputes. Odette Green’s
case probably won’t be any different.

Backbone’s gameplay is a new take on point-and-click adventure, stealth
mechanics based on animal smell, and extensive branching dialogues inspired by
classic CRPGs. As Howard, you must traverse the different districts of a now
walled-off Vancouver, sniff out clues, collect evidence, interrogate
witnesses, and choose which leads to follow. Inspired by film noir, Backbone
will submerge you into its dark dystopian atmosphere enhanced by the original
doom jazz soundtrack.
