Péndulo Studios S.L.

To realize the interactive adaptation of the comic franchise, the developer collaborated with co-producer YS Interactive and publisher Microids. Blacksad: Under the Skin casts players as the feline private detective John Blacksad, investigating the suspicious death of a boxing club owner in a jazz-era New York City populated by anthropomorphic animals.

The gameplay incorporates a unique "Cat Senses" mechanic, enabling players to utilize heightened sight, smell, and hearing to uncover hidden clues, alongside a deduction menu where players combine evidence to progress the investigation. To appeal to fans of the source material, the physical Blacksad: Under the Skin [Limited Edition] was released, featuring a physical artbook and collectible packaging.

This project established a long-term publishing relationship with Microids, leading the studio to focus heavily on high-profile European comic and cinematic adaptations. This trajectory continued with their subsequent narrative adventure releases, including Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo and Tintin Reporter - Cigars of the Pharaoh, solidifying their modern portfolio as specialists in translating illustrated literary works into interactive mysteries.
