Perfect Assassin
Perfect Assassin is a point and click adventure released by Grolier Interactive for MS-DOS and the PlayStation in 1997 and 1998 respectively. The game's titular character, Charon, a cyborg with superhuman abilities, suddenly loses his memory during one of his most important missions, landing on the planet Kar-Naq. Hunted by strangers using only his old instincts as a weapon, he must remember the target of his mission and execute it, before he himself is assassinated.
