The game offers a narrative where outcomes change based on user choices. As a licensed bounty hunter, players sign contracts and track targets. They investigate crime scenes, collect clues, and reconstruct events using 'Cybervision'. Situations can be resolved through various methods such as combat, stealth, hacking, or persuasion, and these choices are reflected in real-time throughout the journey.

The game features graphics with orange and brown tones that capture the 1970s aesthetic and the desolation of the apocalypse. Players traverse the wasteland in their hovercar, 'The Appaloosa'. Additionally, the game adopts a character progression system that allows players to grow their character through mods, augmentations, and equipment without experience points or level caps.
