The game is an interactive movie spanning four CD-ROMs.[2] The plot follows an American journalist in Paris who has been framed for murder during the course of an investigation.
Urban Runner was not very popular at the time of its release, due to high graphics and monitor resolution requirements. The minimum requirement was 640×480, with 256 colors. For the best quality, 640×480, 32-bit color was needed. Few reviews have been published concerning the game.
The lead is played by Brandon Massey, who also played the lead in the Sierra title Police Quest IV: Open Season (1993), making his second and final appearance in a Sierra game.
