About Runaway, A Road Adventure
New York, 2000...
...Without knowing how or why, Brian, a student on the verge of graduating from college, is attacked by Mafia gangsters.
During his desperate getaway, in the company of a mysterious striptease dancer, he ends up meeting a wide range of unusual characters. But which ones are trying to help him and which ones are planning to blow his head off?
You will have to be very ingenious to figure it out, without forgetting that nobody is who they seem in this explosive mixture of murder, money, ambition, santeria rituals and deception...a whole lot of deception.

Such an awesome nostalgic game! Love the early 2000s vibes and the soundtrack rocks!1 found this helpful
I remember playing this game a couple years ago Some puzzles were pretty hard to solve, but satisfaction I got after beating the game was certainly worth it1 found this helpful
Very good environment art. Decent voice acting. Okay character design. Some completely illogical puzzles. Occasional borderline impossible to spot objects. And a pretty dumb story. But still fairly enjoyable. 3/5
Decent story for a traditional graphic adventure game. Still worth playing after 20+ years of its release.
