Bit of a late response, but better late then never: Illusion City is a JRPG from Microcabin, who also made the Xak and Frey games. It has a cyberpunk setting and is a bit of a mishmash between Bladerunner and Wicked City (the anime). Lots of robots, cyborgs, bio-engineered animals, cults, sects, technocratic evil corporations, demons, drusg and post-apocalyptic dystopian megacities. It was surprisingly adult (characters doped up, having sex) and bleak (at one point you help some resistance fighter escape from a prison. Dude is totally drugged up and can hardly walk. When you bring him back to a safehouse, turns out he got a bomb planted in his stomach and the entire cell is blown to bloody bits. Grim stuff.
Oh wow. That looks amazing. I knew Xak, but had never heard of this one. Seems reminiscent of Snatcher too, the way you described it and based on the screenshots.
Very interesting, this. It's even been translated apparently, by a company named A&L.
