A lthough 1982’s Blade Runner has inspired three trillion and six films, games, books, comics, albums and cereals, only a tiny percentage of them have understood (or even tried to understand) the film. Hurling neon signs and Japanese words around does not constitute telling a cyberpunk story. Here, however, we have a game that not only understands Blade Runner, but thoroughly deserves to be mentioned alongside it. Y’know, like we just did.
The Voight-Kampff test is how blade runners determine whether an individual is human, or a humanseeming android. Silicon Dreams takes the idea of this test, and especially the machine involved in conducting it, and runs with it. It runs hard, it runs fast, and it runs with a hell of a lot of style.
