Played this on my RP3. Took about 12 hours total. Very happy some folks were able to create an English translation patch for this game that was never localized here. I don't play many point and click adventures so it is hard for me to judge the gameplay. Generally I liked it. Some of the action scenes involving bombs and guns got a little tiring as they tended to ramp up in challenge and then restart you quite a bit further back.

The plot itself was interesting enough. Lots of the twists and turn were pretty obvious tbh. However the acting and cinematics were a real treat. Love this animation style.

Clearly Kojima was in love with Mell Gibson as the main character Jonathan is a carbon copy of him. His partner Ed being a facsimile of Murdoc. That being said I think that the character development was actually quite good. There are some charming scenes, particularly eating dinner at Ed's house. While you will have to get through the perverted parts, they aren't that often and don't distract too much.

For anyone that likes point and click adventures, 80s scifi or buddy cop films, and/or Kojima this is worth your time.
