Richard is one of the three internal voices Jacket dreams of in Hotline Miami, appearing as a yellow-lit man in a rooster mask dressed in Jacket's clothes. In Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number's 1991 setting, he's the main internal voice of characters connected to the 1989 killings, but is normally lit, with blinking eyes and talking-beak animations showing off teeth; he also changes attire based on who he's talking to. His primary uses in both games are to heavily blur the line between what's really happening and what isn't, to play up the fears of characters, and to make mildly meta comments about the game and player.
