About

The year is 2060, and the huge city Neo Tokyo overflows with gangsters. The police is helpless - the criminals form well-organized group that are threatening to take power in the whole city. Only freelance bounty hunters, brave and reckless people who are willing to do a dangerous job to earn some money, dare to face the crime world of Neo Tokyo. You play as Sara Fitzgerald, one of such bounty hunters. The game plays as a digital novel, with still shots of real actors on an appropriate mystery/sci-fi background; you interact with the game world by making decisions for Sara. There are many different paths to take in the game, and in the end the player receives a "detective rank" according to the decisions he has taken.
