About this product

Product Information

One of the best and most engaging point-and-click adventures ever released for any system, Snatcher puts players in the role of former Special Forces agent Gillian Seed, who must seek out and destroy cyborg killers. There are some shooting scenes, which involve using the control pad (or the Justifier light gun) to aim your weapon over a 3x3 grid, but most of the action consists of selecting from lists of text-based menu options (such as asking people questions or investigating objects). In a lesser title this could become tedious, but the gripping storyline, mood-enhancing graphics, and extraordinarily verbose voice effects make this a game players will want in their collection.

Worth Snatching Up
Not many games are worth shelling out hundreds of dollars for, but Snatcher really does make a compelling case for itself. An engaging blend of visual novel and point-and-click adventure game, Snatcher may initially seem like a mere Blade Runner rip-off but quickly reveals itself to be a wholly unique take on well-worn dystopian sci-fi tropes. Infused with a wry sense of humor, the game never takes itself too seriously and, in true Hideo Kojima fashion, often breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the player. Snatcher is a rare example of a cult classic deserving of its reputation, a game that, even in 2019, somehow manages to surprise and avert expectations on a moment-by-moment basis. Snatcher demands a pretty penny but in this case, it may just be worth taking out that second mortgage for.

The Timeless Classic
Is it expensive? Of course. If you're buying this gem, you don’t care. This is one of those low-print run games that you’ll be proud to own. It is a glimpse into the future of the great Hideo Kojima’s career. Amazing storytelling lies at the heart of this classic. You will never forget the experience.
