You are a psychopath; it's just that simple. Or is it? It seems that as of lately, both the movie and video game community has focused on the bad- good-guy.

This is also the case in Manhunt 2. Yes, you are a murdering psychopath, but it really is not your fault. You are misused and misunderstood. Before you were involved with the "Project" everything was normal. Well Almost normal. But the project has ways of changing people, and not for the best.

You, just as so many people in this world, were a good man with a good family. Unfortunately for everyone, raising a family is expensive and just as so many people did, the character (you) are down on your luck and in debt. Lucky for you, medical science is at the rescue. They have the funds to help you out, and all you have to do is to volunteer for some experiments. It sounds easy and fair - the advance of medical science and financial security. It's like killing two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, things don't go as planed. As a matter of fact things turn out very bad. Now you hardly remember who you were and who your true friends are. Survival is the key, yet your survival means the death of many others. Do you have what it takes to beat the project and get your life back?
