Today’s addition to The Watchlist is Backbone, a story-driven noir stealth-adventure developed by EggNut, set to release in 2019. Set in retro-futuristic Vancouver, Canada, you play as ‘Howard Lotor’, a raccoon private detective attempting to unfold the mysteries of a dystopian animal society while fighting against the discrimination of the planet’s ruling class – the ‘Great Apes’. You must solve detective cases by gathering evidence, interrogating witnesses, and using your heightened sense of smell to spot threats and stealthily avoid detection.
