Our take on American Fugitive
Rather than using a conventional viewpoint, the game frames its crime sandbox from above in 3D. It also places open-world criminal activity in a rural 1980s setting, combining investigation, vehicle challenges, property crimes, and police evasion within one story.
What is American Fugitive?
American Fugitive is a single-player open-world action game set in Redrock County, a rural American town in the 1980s.
Players control Will Riley, who escapes prison after being blamed for his father’s murder and searches for the real culprit. Travel on foot or by car, work with criminals, steal vehicles, rob houses, loot stores, hide from police, and take on jobs for the underworld. The world includes destructible environments, car chases, hidden stashes, art fencing, time trials, and stunt jumps. Its story follows mystery, deception, corruption, and rival law enforcers and criminals across a 3D, top-down setting.
