The developers of Rare at the time envisioned several sci-fi-typical things for the future that don’t exist in our world today. This includes, for example, the modern cape the Skedar, which can transform her reptilian form into a human appearance. Also the flying cars we do not have – to this extent – on earth so far. companies with alien races working together are also not a reality.
By the way, in the game you take on the role of Joanna Dark, who as an agent is supposed to unveil the secrets of the largest company in the world. Incidentally, the team took inspiration from a popular series for the appearance of the protagonist. Dana Scully from the X-Files is the model of Joanna Dark – at least in the western version. In Japan, there were some changes to the main character’s visuals – mainly to better reach the players there.
