Blade Runner

Description

The novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick served as the inspiration for both the film with the same name and the video game that bears the same name. In the dystopian world of the future, cities are engulfed in darkness, and nature has given way to the synthetic, bio-mechanical manufacture of all species, including humans. Replicants are the name given to those artificial people, and they are considered to be servants who are not worthy of being "true" humans. Ray McCoy, a member of the law enforcement agency, is referred to as a "Blade Runner" due to his unique job of tracking down replicant rebels. As a result of his investigations, McCoy is able to see things from their point of view, and as a result, his perspective on the world and society begins to shift.

Blade Runner is an adventure game, however rather than focusing on puzzles, it puts more of an emphasis on solving mysteries. The game features very few "real" puzzles, and the majority of the gameplay consists around interrogating suspects, collecting evidence, and other similar activities. There are also some action moments, and during the entirety of the game, the protagonist will always have access to his weapon of choice. The choices that the player makes can and will have an impact on how the tale unfolds, ultimately leading the player to one of the game's six different conclusions.
