Evaluation

Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a classic point-and-click adventure game that released on April 21, 2011. The store description presents it as a complete, self-contained narrative experience with a defined beginning, middle, and end — including what the developer describes as "even two happy endings." There is no DLC, no season pass, no post-launch content cadence, and no developer communications announcing future additions. The game launched as a finished product and has remained that way. It is the third entry in the Runaway series by Pendulo Studios, and no further sequels or expansions in this series have been announced.
