Everyone wants to change the world, but not always for the better.īackbone tells the tale of Howard Lotor, a raccoon private eye in a dystopian Vancouver inhabited by talking animals. This world is inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, some species of which have better reputations than others. Iconic locations including Gastown, Granville, and Fairmont Hotel are included in the game world. All imagery is suggestive and not direct, but we would still never recommend this game to children."īackbone’s Vancouver is a dangerous place, bleak and dreary, but not entirely without hope. The developers describe the content like this: "Backbone heavily features strong language, themes of violence, systemic racism and sexism, drug abuse, depression, terminal illness, body horror, death. Come to terms with the universal pain of existence and loss.Explore and experience both downtrodden and flourishing districts of a strange, yet familiar version of Vancouver.Shape and express your identity through dialogue choices - decide what kind of person you want to be.Make meaningful connections with a diverse cast of characters in pursuit of truth.
The end of all things is inevitable, but defining which version of Howard Lotor reaches the conclusion is up to you. Backbone’s gameplay is focused on storytelling and emotional expression, featuring rich and elaborate dialogues inspired by old school CRPGs, as well as exploration of the lush environments.
