She asks him to investigate the matter and although Jonathan refuses to accept the case at first and Lorraine quietly leaves. The meeting for her is just as awkward, but she has no one else to turn to when her husband (Kenzo Hojyo) disappears. He is visited by his ex-wife (Lorraine) who had believed him to be dead and whom he had never thought to visit on Beyond Coast ever since he was found a few years earlier. With everything that he has known having changed in the last two and a half decades, he attempts to eke out a living by returning to Earth and work as a private detective in Los Angeles. Twenty-five years later, Jonathan is discovered alive (thanks to the emergency cryo-sleep module in the space suit which also explains why he also has not aged). While testing a prototype spacesuit, it malfunctions and sends him into deep space where he is presumed dead. In the year 2013, Jonathan Ingram is a 'Policenaut' - an astronaut with police training - whose duty is to protect Beyond Coast, man's first space colony.

Later on in Octoa team lead by Víctor González, along with help from the original translation team, released an English patch for the Saturn version of Policenauts that translated the port's new content and further polished the English script. The team's patch was released on August 24, 2009, coinciding with Hideo Kojima's 46th birthday. However, Marc Laidlaw and Artemio Urbina from the Junker HQ fan site worked for many years on a fan translation of the PlayStation version of Policenauts and were finally able to completed their fan patch after receiving hacking assistance from Something Awful forum member Michael Sawyer (known by his online handle "slowbeef"). Hideo Kojima has cited that work had begun on an English release of Policenauts but the developers were unable to synchronize the English dialogue with the FMV cut-scenes so the project was canceled. Konami even released an official press release on their website announcing Policenauts' localization in May 1996 and the game was also advertised on pamphlets included with certain Konami games, but it never came to be. The Saturn version of Policenauts was initially planned to be published in North American. On February 9, 1996, Policenauts: Private Collection was released for the PlayStation with the material from the Pilot Disk along with a copy of an earlier script of the game included as a bonus. Pilot Diskīefore Policenauts's release on the 3DO, a "Pilot Disk" was released on April 21, 1995, containing a playable demo of the game, interviews with the voice actors and developers, as well as an extensive encyclopedia describing the concepts within the title's detailed backstory.

Policenauts would later be released on the Japanese PlayStation Store on May 15, 2008, making it available as a downloadable title for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3. Kojima has also stated that he believes the Saturn port is the "final version" of Policenauts, containing several changes to the game's story and presentation that make the release "the most charming" in his eyes.

The Sega Saturn would be the last console the title would be ported to on Septemwhere it added supported for the Virtua Gun peripheral.

When the PlayStation version arrived on January 19, 1996, it featured further cleanup on both the graphics and movie footage created for the 3DO release. The game's script was also polished and rewritten making Poilcenaut's 3DO release the base for all future ports. Besides all the game's artwork being redrawn, CG and hand-animated cut-scenes were added to enhance important moments in the story. The first console release of Policenauts was for the 3DO in 1995 and it was extensively reworked from the original.

Policenauts was first released on the NEC PC-98 Japanese microcomputer on Jand, unlike the title's later console ports, featured a presentation made up entirely of pixel art, giving the game a look very similar to Snatcher. The story takes place in the year 2040 where private investigator Jonathan Ingram uncovers the mystery behind the disappearance of his ex-wife's husband, who is a citizen that lives aboard the space colony that now orbits the Earth. Policenauts is the spiritual successor to Snatcher, both of which are sci-fi adventure games designed and written by Hideo Kojima.
