Snatcher
Snatcher is a cyberpunk graphic adventure game directed and scripted by Hideo Kojima and produced by Konami. The setting and story of Snatcher are heavily influenced by cyberpunk and science fiction media, and are set in a large futuristic dystopian city. The story revolves around an investigator named Gillian Seed, who is tasked with investigating a race of bioroids known as "Snatchers" that are killing people and taking their place in society. The game is set mainly in the first-person perspective and uses a menu-based interface that allows the protagonist to interact with his environment. The player can choose between "Look", "Investigate", "Talk", "Ask" and "Move" (in addition to other options) to acquire important items or get important information from other characters. The player can analyze items in Gillian's belongings or show them to other characters. At key points in the game's story, the player must complete shooting sequences to defend Gillian from attackers. These shooting sequences use a 3x3 grid that the player can target to shoot at enemies. In Junker HQ, there is a shooting trainer called "Junker's Eyes" that the player can use to measure his marksmanship.
Story
On June 6, 1996 (1991 in the Japanese version), a biological weapon called Lucifer-Alpha, being developed in Chernoton, Russia, is released into the atmosphere, resulting in the death of 80% of the Eurasian population, which in turn results in the death of half the world's population. The contaminated area becomes uninhabitable for a decade as Lucifer-Alpha mutates to a non-lethal form. This tragic event later becomes known as "the catastrophe." Fifty years later, in 2047 (2042 in the Japanese version), a race of artificial life forms or bioroids known as "Snatchers" appear on the artificial island of Neo Kobe City, killing their victims and taking their place in society. No one knows exactly what they are or where they come from. Playing the role of Gillian Seed, an amnesiac who works for an anti-Snatcher task force called J.U.N.K.E.R., the player's goal is to track down the source of the Snatchers and discover Gillian's mysterious connection to them. The story takes place in three acts.
