He is asked to investigate a horrible murder of the mayor's daughter, whose body was mutilated.
As Hunter begins to search for clues that would help him solve the crime, he uncovers a conspiracy involving a deadly drug and a powerful criminal syndicate behind it.
Rise of the Dragon is a futuristic first-person adventure game.
The game's visuals are reminiscent of a comic book, with digitized photos of actors and hand-painted backgrounds.
Unlike most other adventure games of the time, it relies less on inventory puzzles and more on specific choices made by the player.
The game has an internal clock and requires the player to plan the protagonist's moves ahead in order to be in the right place at the right time.
Dialogues with multiple choices are utilized as a gameplay tool; a wrong choice will often lead to a premature end of the adventure.
There are two side-scrolling action sequences in the game; both can be bypassed without penalty if the player character dies several times in a row.
The Sega CD version does not allow the player to skip these sequences.
In addition, it uses a different color palette with a greenish tint, and has voice-overs for the dialogues.
About Sega Dreamcast
Sega's final console, the Dreamcast (1998/1999), was ahead of its time with built-in internet connectivity and an influential library, but a short commercial lifespan cut its game catalog short. That abrupt end means Dreamcast print runs were smaller across the board than a longer-lived console would have had, and it's now one of the more actively collected fifth/sixth-generation systems specifically because of that scarcity.

Market insights

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern (2001), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Dreamcast titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
