Gemini Rue, an upcoming indie title for the PC, looks like something we sadly haven't seen much of lately: a game that combines adventure, science fiction and a little bit of darkness.

While that sounds like the nichest of niche genres, throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s there was actually a steady stream of quality titles that fit just that bill. Some were trying to be Blade Runner, one was Blade Runner, but all of them shared some common elements: they were adventure games, they were set in the future and had a dark, almost noir tone.
