Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a point-and-click graphical adventure. It is a game developed by Pendulo Studios and the sequel of Runaway 2: The Dream of The Turtle, as well as the third and final chapter in the Runaway series.
The game has a 2D appearance, however only the backgrounds are in true 2D because the characters are rendered in 3D using cel-shaded animation.
Just like the second entry in the series, the English, the French and German versions of the game were the first available for purchase, all three of them published on November 26, 2009. The original Spanish version was subsequently published in its homeland, Spain, on March 25, 2010, featuring an exclusive special collector's edition to mollify fans annoyed by the delay, as with Runaway 2.
Brian is the protagonist of the entire saga. His role in this game is not as major as in the previous games because of the inclusion of Gina as a playable character.
Gina is the co-protagonist of the entire saga. Her role in this game is greater than in others, because she is now a playable character. She's the first playable character in this game.
Dr Bennett is Brian's psychologist at the Happy Dale Mental Hospital. During parts of the game, the player can select his dialog.
A dangerous assassin with an obsession with spiders, first met in Runaway 2. She is the main antagonist in this chapter.
The general from Mala Island. Brian stands accused of his murder. He is playable for a brief part of one chapter.
Miss Palmer is the nurse of the Happy Dale Mental Hospital. She's a very mean person, and she hates Brian. Later on in the story it's discovered that she's Tarantula in disguise. She tries to make Brian crazy, and gives him a hallucinogen, and a knife, to force him to kill someone.
Note that characters marked as playable are not by player selection. The active character is determined by where you have progressed to in the storyline.
The story begins as an incomplete continuation of the previous chapter. It starts out with Gina attending Brian's funeral, and it is noted that she is the only mourner in sight.
