Storyline

Runaway 3: A Twist of Fate opens amid a swirl of rumors about Brian—some claim he’s gone insane, seen aliens, or even died—while his girlfriend Gina is determined to set the record straight. The game begins with a stark funeral scene: only a priest, cemetery manager Luane, Happy Dale Mental Hospital guard Ernie, and Gina are present, and flashbacks reveal Brian’s trial for the alleged murder of General Kordsmier, which ended with him being declared insane and locked away.

Just after the service, Gina receives a frantic call from Brian, who says he’s trapped in his own grave; his battery dies, leaving only a cryptic message. Chapter 1 follows Gabbo, a fellow inmate, who tells Gina about Brian’s escape plan, which is stolen by Kurgan, leading to a chaotic breakout that ends with Kurgan’s decapitated body.

In a remote cabin, Gina assists a psychologist in investigating a witness’s death—ruled a suicide—that could have cleared Brian’s name. The story then shows Brian using Kurgan’s corpse as a disguise, gaining an unexpected ally in his quest.

The final chapters reveal what happened between Runaway 2 and this opening, as Tarantula captures Gina. Brian devises a plan, defeats Tarantula and her goons, exonerates himself, rescues Gina, and the game concludes with a happy ending—indeed, two happy endings are hinted at.
