Kickstart This: Sunset

By: Derek Yu

Tale of Tales is Kickstarting their latest project, Sunset. The premise is a cool one:

Sunset is a narrative-driven first-person videogame that takes place in a single apartment in a fictional South American city in the early 1970s. You play a housekeeper called Angela Burnes. Every week, an hour before sunset, you visit the swanky bachelor pad of Gabriel Ortega. You are given a number of tasks to do, but the temptation to go through his stuff is irresistible. As you get to know your mysterious employer better, you are sucked into a rebellious plot against a notorious dictator Generalísimo Ricardo Miraflores.

The Kickstarter description likens the game to Gone Home, which I personally enjoyed. Hopefully it’s another step in the right direction for this genre.

    Looks great! I really enjoyed The Path, although I found it a bit too dark with some of its endings. Let’s hope it’s a bit longer than Gone Home, or has different endings like the rest of their games.

    Twin Souls: The Path of Shadows (Tenchu-like stealth) is another indie game on Kickstarter at the moment (http://kck.st/1nbhCRR) , as well as the 2d survival Sheltered (http://kck.st/1ngrjBA).
