Blade Runner

while reusing the stunning design of Ridley Scotts Blade Runner movie, the story is taking place in many of the same locations and a few new ones. It is neither a sequel, nor a prequel to the movies, but more like a alternate storyline. Depending on your research and actions, you will achiefe a different ending.

A wonderful point-and-click adaptation of the movie, although I have never seen the film. I have read the book twice, however. As can be expected, it has a noir-style detective setting. I like the branching paths and different endings based on your actions.

A definite contender for best point & click adventure as well as the best movie-licensed game ever made, Blade Runner not only a faithful adaption with recognisable sets and actors, but a masterpiece in its own right. I actually played the game before watching the movie, and would say the game has one advantage its counterpart does not - its essentially perfect. From top to bottom the game is consistently excellent, randomly generating a human or replicant identity for several characters who must be hunted down via a web of interconnected clues, and making the protagonist's own questionable identity a central premise rather than an afterthought. No cartoon logic or obscure puzzles here, all the information you need is laid out for your convenience in a handy clue database which filters relevant information.

Evocative, deep.

Thanks a lot for recovering this game.
