Play Overview
Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition (2022) is a point-and-click adventure based on the original Blade Runner film, where you track and retire replicants responsible for illegal animal killings. You move your cursor over crime scenes and cyberpunk streets to search for clues, find new places to explore, and interrogate suspects, gradually piecing together the mystery. It stands out for deep Blade Runner ties to the movie, with returning characters (and cast members voice them), locations, soundtrack, and iconic gadgets.
You play Ray McCoy, a rookie blade runner on the case of a mass animal slaughter by criminal replicants (androids). You sweep the scene, clicking on points of interest and questioning witnesses to accumulate clues and figure out where to head next in pursuit. Familiar tools from the film help your investigation — the ESPER machine lets you zoom and enhance surveillance photos for hidden details, while the Voight-Kampff test probes whether suspects are human. If you identify a replicant, it's up to you to decide their fate; the story changes whether you shoot or release them.
As you progress, you build a database of clues for each suspect and reveal a bigger picture. You team up with other blade runners, including some notable cameos, who contribute to this database and point you in the right direction. The narrative you uncover is dark and offers multiple endings depending on your actions, some where you are a hero and others where you become the villain.
The result is a gritty cyberpunk mystery set in the Blade Runner world and filled with nostalgic callbacks for fans of the film.
