Play Manhunter: New York Online

Manhunter: New York is a graphic adventure game released for MS-DOS in 1988. Developed by Evryware and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc., the game is set in a post-apocalyptic, science fiction future. The narrative follows a human operative known as a Manhunter, who works for an alien regime called the Orb Alliance in the ruins of New York City.

The player controls the Manhunter, who is assigned specific crimes or targets to investigate by the Orb authorities each chapter. Progression is structured around these investigative assignments. Primary gameplay involves using a computer system called MAD to review civilian movement logs from an overhead map, tracing connections from a victim to potential suspects. The player then visits first-person investigation scenes at various city locations to search for visual clues and evidence. Alongside this core detective work, the game incorporates arcade-style action sequences where the player must directly control the character to navigate hazards, such as avoiding attacks or performing timed challenges.

The interface utilizes a point and click system for examining environments and interacting with objects during investigations. The objective for each chapter is to identify the correct suspect based on the gathered evidence and report the name to the Orb Alliance. The story unfolds as the Manhunter uncovers a larger conspiracy and pursues a mysterious serial killer operating within the city.
