Headhunter, combining the action-adventure and racing genres in a futuristic landscape, puts users in the shoes of Jack Wade, a former bounty hunter suffering from amnesia. Wade's journey unfolds as he tries to regain his license, catching criminals and solving a murder mystery, and the plot keeps gamers on the edge of their seats. The title is set in a city where organ transplants serve as both punishment and reward, creating a unique social dynamic between rich and poor. Wade, armed with a specialized pistol that fires electric bullets that immobilize without damaging vital organs, maneuvers through this intricate setting.

His trusty motorcycle becomes a key assistant in overcoming various locations and participating in adrenaline-pumping high-speed chases. Headhunter takes inspiration from dark 1980s action films and speculative science fiction, particularly influenced by director Paul Verhoeven. The atmosphere of the title is in dark and satirical tones, accompanied by cinematic scenes and skillfully executed voice acting. Richard Jacques' dynamic soundtrack, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, further enhances the game's immersion. As users become immersed in the fun narrative, the game's homage to cinematic influences becomes palpable.
