I was eager to acquire this game till I've seen the ads long time ago. I've per-ordered it without the slightest idea about the type of adventure game it might become - just because I am a graphic novels nerd and I never resist Film Noir themed stories like this.

Anyway.. my initial joy after starting the game and listening to the music vanished after I got stuck on the menu selection screen:
the mouse doesn't respond,
the keyboard doesn't respond,
the X Box 360 controller doesn't respond (although it works well in any other games like that Read Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, Witcher 3, and so on).

Although it doesn't respond to any input trials either it might be a problem with another attached gaming device (Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog & Saitek Flight Rudder Pedals) connected to the PC... but I don't want to remove them each time I want to play Blacksad, just beacuse it's embarrassing to crawl under the desk fishing for various cables and, more important, because I have to reload & remap all the controls in various Flight Simulators each time I disconnect the HOTAS.

Imho the years is almost 2020... PC hardware have evolved during the last decade, more than a dozen USB devices are attached to it at the same time and I have NEVER (!) encountered a bug (or non-supported feature ?) like that in any of my 1000+ games but a handful of very cheap ones a long time ago... not worth to mention them.

Here is just one question to answer:: is there an easy way for my to play this game on a PC soon ?
Claiming a refund would be a pity... and might turn my heart into a BLACK mass, leaving me SAD for the rest of my days, :)
