Policenauts (ポリスノーツ) is an adventure game developed by Konami. It was originally released for NEC's PC-9821 in 1994, and then ported to the Sega Saturn in 1996.

It was Hideo Kojima's second adventure game. It was preceded by his first adventure game, Snatcher.

The Saturn version was at one stage advertised for a forthcoming release in North America (with a rough October 1996 release date), but this never materialised.

Included in the package is a picture book, complete with stickers to customise a Virtua Gun and Saturn Backup Memory cartridge.

According to Kojima in a 1996 interview, the Saturn version was the definitive version of the game.^[1] The Saturn version includes an in-game glossary, Virtua Gun and Shuttle Mouse support, Saturn Backup Memory support, additional scenes and dialogues, additional character close-ups, uncensored breast animations, bonus videos, alternate endings credits, and full 24 FPS anime cutscenes (at the expense of slightly reduced video quality, compared to the PlayStation version's 15 FPS cutscenes).
