Looks like a total ripoff of the comic Blacksad, though…
Found this in one of their updates
I love Planescape: Torment, and old Sierra and Lucas Arts adventures, because stories can change the nature of man.
But, unfortunately, in the comments they say
"Backbone [is] more of a cinematic adventure with action elements than a classic point-and-click adventures [sic].
I quite like the concept (copied or not) and visuals of the game, but I am not entirely sure if the gameplay will suit me. Backed, since I do like narrative games of all sorts, especially when they are a bit weird, but the action elements have me a bit worried.

I’ve just been reading about Backbone on the Later Levels blog and knew I’d heard it mentioned somewhere! It looks pretty good – I really like the grainy noir pixel art, and the fact that it’s set in Vancouver is a big plus for me.
I agree it doesn’t sound like it’s a classic point and click, but I’d like to try a different gameplay format anyway.
Also – ‘anthropomorphic raccoon’ – can’t go wrong

No Linux and Steam. I’m not going to bother rebooting. 
According to the developers the Linux version will follow in a couple of days.
