Play Manhunter 2: San Francisco Online

Manhunter 2: San Francisco is a science fiction adventure game released in 1989 for MS-DOS. Developed by Evryware and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc., the game is a direct sequel that continues its story in a post-apocalyptic setting. Players experience the game from a first-person perspective, engaging with puzzle elements as they navigate a futuristic and occupied version of San Francisco.

The player controls a character who, following the events of the previous game, crash-lands in San Francisco while pursuing a serial killer named Phil. With few options, the protagonist assumes the role of a Manhunter, working for the alien Orbs to solve crimes while also aiding the local human resistance and searching for Phil. Progression is driven by completing investigations, which involve exploring detailed environments based on real Bay Area locations like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, now altered by alien influence. Key gameplay systems include using a tracking device to follow suspects and examining scenes in a first-person view to gather clues that identify those suspects.

The core structure retains the point and click interface of its predecessor, requiring no text input from the player. Investigations are broken up by occasional arcade-style action sequences that present various challenges, which cannot be skipped but feature an adjustable difficulty setting. The game focuses on navigating the urban landscape, interacting with new characters, and solving a series of puzzles tied to the narrative of tracking Phil through his crimes.
