Superior to any other game

This game is a classic, there are no others like it. The story pulls you in, the violence is very gory and is Scary enough that you might not want to play this game alone. Unfortunately, you can only play the game via Sega CD or PC. It is worth buying the old Sega CD if you can find one. Believe me, I kept buying Used Sega CDs that broke easily, and ended up buying 3 Sega CDs altogether, mainly so I could play this game again! (Even after I already completed it!)

You take control as Gillian Seed, a man with Amnesia, in which the only thing he can remember, is the word SNATCHER, so he joins the JUNKER team (A team meant for combating Snatchers) in hopes of regaining his memory. You take control of him on his first day. The acting is very realistic, unlike some other videogames, and the music is terrifying. This is a very rare and enjoyable game, you will love it no matter what your interests are. Play this game with the lights off.
