About Sunset
Video games are no stranger to conflict. But what would it look like if a game
cast you not as a war hero, but as a bystander – a civilian caught up in the
chaos?
In Sunset, the player is cast as Angela Burnes, a housekeeper working in a
fictional South American city. Taking place in a single apartment, through
weekly visits over the course of year in the early 1970s, the game simply asks
you to go about your duties for your employer, the wealthy Gabriel Ortega. But
it also lets you feed your curiosity by exploring Ortega's home and, ultimately,
discovering his role, and your own, in the revolution that takes hold of the
country.
Features
- A first-person narrative-focused game that allows
players to experience a story of war and revolution from a civilian's
perspective
- Like all civilians amidst war, players do not
directly influence the outcome of the story, instead, their actions affect
how they experience what unfolds and how their relationship evolves with
Señor Ortega
- No fail state - this isn't a game you can win or
lose, only influence
- Anywhere from 2 to 8 hours of gameplay, depending
on your approach
- Soundtrack by the award-winning Austin Wintory
(Journey, The Banner Saga, Monaco)
- Achieved a whopping 270% of its funding goal on
