Why Does Everyone Want Lucy Dead? Beyond Sunset Reveals All?

Deflect bullets with your katana? A port of the original Doom engine? Cyberpunk? What’s not to like about Beyond Sunset – an FPS/RPG from Movie Games? How about another question?

Waking up in a strange city, you discover that everyone wants you dead. Armed with a katana, you can protect yourself for now, but you need to survive and find answers. At least you know your name is Lucy (pretend – not in real life, silly).

Using the original Doom engine and inspired by the excellent Deus Ex, Beyond Sunset is one for us oldies who remember playing the likes of Wolfenstein 3D, believing it to be unparalleled in presentation. Think Ion Fury, and you might be on the right track.

Key features in the game include:

• FLUID MOVEMENT: High-octane first-person action with advanced movements for dashing, sliding and other acrobatics.
• RPG ELEMENTS: Interact with NPCs, learn the lore of Sunset City, take side missions and upgrade your abilities.
• LO-FI AESTHETIC: Inspired by classic first-person shooters, from Doom to Duke Nukem 3D to Blood.
• SYNTHWAVE VIBE: Hear an original vaporwave soundtrack composed by synthwave legend Karl Vincent.
• MOD SUPPORT: Create and share your own levels, weapons and more with richly-featured free and open-source tools.

And this is what it looks like:

Beyond Sunset is coming to PC and Mac in Summer 2023 :(, but you can have a quick play (without going blind), as it’s available via the Steam Next Fest. Quick – try it out!
