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 Saturn
The Sega Saturn (1994/1995) struggled commercially against the PlayStation despite strong 2D capabilities and a library beloved by shoot-'em-up and RPG fans. Its relatively low sales translated directly into low print runs for many games, making the Saturn one of the more expensive retro platforms to collect completely — several titles now sell for hundreds of euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks Dragon Master Silk Gaiden for Sega Saturn with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dragon Master Silk Gaiden to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SAT release dates back to 1998.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Dragon Master Silk Gaiden, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Saturn 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.
