Brief outline

The game takes place during fifties in New-Yord in a dark world of anthropomorphic animals. The player play as John Blacksad, a charismatic private cat detective.

Content-specific issues

All characters in the game are anthropomorphic and the violence ranges from realistic to occasional depictions of gross violence to fantasy characters. Two examples of the worst violence are a character being tied to a chair and beaten with a wooden club and the other is of a character in a chair in a hairdressers and an assailant uses a cut throat razor to slice open his throat, the character makes gurgling noises throughout this incident. Dialogue in the game contains the infrequent use of the sexual expletive ‘fuck’ and ‘fucking’. Alcohol is used in pursuance of obtaining information, the absence of which would prevent the player in making progress. Although the characters are anthropomorphic, some more so than others, the player’s character has in his possession a photograph, the result of investigating a wayward ‘husband’. The photograph shows a male and female in flagrante, he is standing with his back towards the camera, and she has her legs wrapped around his waist, it is quite obvious that they are engaged in intercourse.

Other issues

The game features scenes of smoking which positively endorse the activity.
