There are frequent dialogue options where you can try to just run away from the problem but he keeps dragging himself back into place to try and make a difference.įor Renee she was always on the fence. You primarily follow Howard, a self-professed coward who chose to do low-key work like track cheating spouses rather then actually commit his skills to the police force or apply in any other way. You have three characters that have all made choices out of fear and comfort all deciding to stand up for themselves.
Short Story: The key to understanding this game, in my opinion, is the title itself: Backbone. In one of the dialogues it mentions that the war/wall were a few generations past but that might also just be a common myth, each generation being told it was just a little while ago when it may have been thousands of years. Judging by the condition outside the wall and the ruined cities, humanity blew itself up somehow although the wars might have been more recent. You see a human skull in the biochem lab and he talks about it as if it is some ancient ancestor which combined with the artifact makes me think that all the Kind are actually what is left of humanity. Origins: It is implied that all the animal species are either mutations of humans or animals that humans experimented on. This isn't meant to defend the ending but to help put it into context.
