About this Project

This game was developed at the NYU Game Center as a Class of 2025 Thesis.

Sunset Chaser is a 2D top-down adventure game where you venture through Post-Apocalyptic USA, encountering wacky friends and foes. Drive and upgrade your makeshift car, and fight enemies on the road as you plan your route to your destination! This demo takes you from Texas to New Mexico.

So, strap in, cowboys and cowgirls, it’s going to be a hell of a ride!
