About Backbone
Backbone is a post-noir narrative adventure that takes you deep into a dystopian, animal-inhabited Vancouver, BC. Slip on racoon detective Howard Lotor’s iconic trench coat as you seek to uncover the truth in an increasingly dark case. As you dig into the society’s corrupt class system, a deeply personal story of change and transformation will begin to unfold.
GAMEPLAY
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. The end of all things is inevitable, but defining which version of Howard Lotor reaches the conclusion is up to you.
As Howard, you will:
- Make meaningful connections with a diverse cast of characters in pursuit of truth
- Shape and express your identity through dialogue choices – decide what kind of person you want to be
- Explore and experience both downtrodden and flourishing districts of a strange, yet familiar version of Vancouver
- Come to terms with the universal pain of existence and loss
- Be a raccoon
Beginning today, players can purchase Backbone at a 10% discount on Nintendo Switch to celebrate launching on the platform.
