About Sunset: A Narrative Exploration of War and Rebellion

Immerse yourself in Sunset, a thought-provoking narrative-driven first-person exploration game set against the backdrop of a 1972 military coup in Anchuria, Latin America. As Angela Burnes, a US citizen trapped in the war-torn city of San Bavón, you'll take on a seemingly mundane job as a housekeeper for the enigmatic Gabriel Ortega. This is more than just a housekeeping simulator; it's a journey into the heart of political turmoil and personal connection.

Every week, an hour before sunset, you'll enter Ortega's luxurious apartment. While performing your tasks, the temptation to explore is irresistible. What secrets does this wealthy bachelor hold? What role does he play in the growing resistance against the oppressive dictator? As you uncover clues and interact with the environment, you'll become entangled in a rebellious plot that could change the fate of Anchuria.

Experience a unique perspective on conflict, where the focus isn't on explicit violence, but on the emotional impact of war. Sunset is inspired by action games but asks: what about the lives of ordinary people caught in the crossfire? This story-rich adventure game offers a pensive and atmospheric journey, delving into themes of class, political revolution, and the human spirit.
