Snatcher (SEGA Mega CD / Sega CD) Full Playthrough / Walkthrough / Longplay - No stupid commentary

Karls Retro Channel (KITR) 2025-04-22 | Famous cyberpunk adventure game from the 90s for SEGA Mega CD. It's a complete game, no commentary or distractions like a stupid frame with my face in it or something like that, just the game.

To make it as entertaining as possible, I tried to read and interact with pretty much everything for the story to be understood properly.

Also, when I was reading something, I let the text sit for a bit for everybody to be able to read it.
