Description

SUNDOWN is a visceral same screen stealth deathmatch set in a stylish sci-fi noir inspired world. Players share a single top down perspective in which they can hide from each other by disappearing completely into the dark. Anyone can be lurking anywhere: spatial awareness, positioning, and planning are the keys to success, while hasty attacks will leave you in the light and exposed. This results in intense matches that switch on a dime from posturing and stealth to frenetic and bloody fireworks.

SUNDOWN's systems are all built to complement the light-dark mechanic. Haptic feedback and gridded level design allow players to navigate the maps without having to see their player avatar. Play changes from level to level, with different movement and lighting mechanics to provide unique navigational challenges. Multiple play styles are supported with 5 weapons, all balanced but drastically different in operation. These systems add layers of complexity to the game, creating an approachable yet competitive multiplayer experience.
