You see how this all plays into my nutrition "wacky nutrition and improbable" nutrition thesis for this review? The overarching gameplay model for Runaway, I believe, is the first Broken Sword (although many nods are given throughout to other games of yore). Gina is to Brian as Broken Sword's Nico is to George, cast as a maybe-unrequited love interest and purportedly a central character in the game but unwittingly relegated (by the men who designed the game) to merely a foil, the raison d'etre for the pickle that Brian (or George) finds himself in, time after time. Runaway is almost flavorless, with no new ideas and no new puzzle types. Gameplay is 99% "get the plunger from the bathroom to give to the plumber in the living room to make him expose the putty knife in his butt crack for you to grab and use, instead of the machete that you already have in your inventory, which still doesn't work, dammit, no matter how many times you try it, to cut the vine that you need to repair the ladder to the attic, which you pick up and put in your pocket and carry off to Timbuktu in order that you may climb the tree and get the apple that will finish off the bad guy" type (this is not an actual example from Runaway, of course, but it is totally representative of the kinds of puzzles found in Runaway).
