You are John Doe. On the surface, you lead a perfectly normal life as an investigative journalist in one of the biggest newspapers. Of course, if one could call "normal life" writing about crimes the day after day. You know this world very well. You also know how often the perpetrators are not held responsible or are given sentences inadequate to the crime. Well, it's time to take matters into your own hands and put things in order.
As an investigative journalist, you have access to many tools that allow you to track down the bad guys. Use police frequency monitoring, whistleblower services, and connection to municipal surveillance to establish the identity and whereabouts of your target. Plan your actions carefully, learn your targets' life patterns and become their shadow. Only then will you perform the perfect trial.
It is only up to you what judgment you will pass on your target. Does a thief who steals from lonely old women deserve a prison? Or is it enough to break his hands with a crowbar as a warning? The choice is yours and only yours, as you are the conscience of this world and the good spirit of this city. The fate of its inhabitants is in your hands!
Earn experience points and unlock more and more toys - from baseball bats to construction tools. There are plenty of ways to deliver justice and your imagination is the only obstacle. Do justice with style, as befits a true gentleman, or make fun and be creative! But remember to always clean up the mess...
Remember that society also has its idea of justice. If you lose your emotions' reins and of the line too many times, you will face negative reception. The police will throw all their strength on the streets to get you down. Remain the hero in the eyes of the public, or do enough to see yourself become a villain - the choice is yours.
“The truth is that someone like John Doe could very well be walking among us, amongst regular people, who day in day out hear terrible news reports, but are powerless to act” explains Mike Jadore, S2's Game Designer and the original creator of the game. “However controversial, Serial Hunter’s lead character is the perfect storm of social frustration, angst and anger. John believes that too often punishment is disproportionate to blame. So? He takes matters into his own hands”.
As seen in the trailer, in Serial Hunter the player will become judge, jury and executioner. If someone thinks that cutting a hand with a chainsaw will be appropriate to the theft, one will be able to do so. But maybe it is enough to beat the thief and hand him over to the police? Or for worse crimes... eliminate? The severity of the punishment is sure to be strengthened by the John Doe’s rich arsenal of tools for the administration of justice, ranging from simple blunt weapons to construction and gardening tools.
