This guy is an author and works on a screenplay that sounds much like the story of Runaway 1. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The game looks very nice. (Windows) from mobygames.com

General view of the cemetery, with Brian's funeral taking place close to the chapel on the right. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Inside the chapel with Agatha, who claims to be a medium. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Like in the previous game, the inventory is quite decorative. I just don't like the 3D item close-ups. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Luanne is a nice character - I believe that women can do anything, and in Poland female gravediggers are pretty much unheard of... (Windows) from mobygames.com
Gina is now on the run with Gabbo, an escaped patient who takes her to Dr. Bennett, who realised that Brian is innocent. (Windows) from mobygames.com
They food served to patients in the psychiatric hospital must be really bad if Gabbo is so thin and so hungry... (Windows) from mobygames.com
Two elderly patients are playing hitch-hiking, with a ping-pong table and a small bench pretending to be a car. (Windows) from mobygames.com
This well-known image from the game is in fact just the hitch-hiking scene playing in the patients' imagination. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Brian is checking out the escape route... (Windows) from mobygames.com
...and he finds Kurgan, another patient, who has been killed in, probably, an accident with the ventilator. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The outside of Chapman's cabin in the woods. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Gina is now able to get inside the shed. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The sheriff's office - the sheriff used to be friends with Chapman, so he is even more uncooperative, suspecting that Bennett was sent by the FBI to close the case as a simple suicide. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Bennett has been able to win the sheriff's goodwill and now they are consulting an entomologist and getting to an important breakthrough. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Brian decides to make Kurgan's body pass as his. On the way to the office, to switch their biological data, he discovers an old morgue... (Windows) from mobygames.com
Bennett is in his office and Brian is waiting in the air duct above... (Windows) from mobygames.com
A view from the hospital roof. "Runaway" has been compared to the "Broken Sword" series... (Windows) from mobygames.com
...and I suspect a few conscious inspirations: Brian's escape pretty much reminds me of George and Nico's escape from the warehouse in Marseille. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Another view of a dirty alley - adventure games show that garbage can be beautiful. ;) (Windows) from mobygames.com
The judge shows Gina recordings from Brian's hypnotherapy sessions - we finally get to know what happened after the end of "Runaway 2"! (Windows) from mobygames.com
Brian looks over to Bennett's penthouse, just across the alley. The contrast between the elegant penthouse and dirty alleys... (Windows) from mobygames.com
...I'd prefer all people to live in decent apartments, with at least an income satisfying their basic needs and still leaving some money for books, travel and other hobbies. (Windows) from mobygames.com
And one more shot, without showing what exactly happened. The story is now much more closed than after "Runaway 2". Perhaps Brian could now marry Gina and return to his physics studies? ;) (Windows) from mobygames.com
