Our take on Sunset
The defining structure is 44 visits to one apartment, with each visit covering a fictional hour before sunset. Cleaning duties provide the routine while investigation and interaction shape what Angela discovers.
What is Sunset?
Sunset is a first-person exploration game set in 1972, where Angela Burnes works as a housekeeper after a military coup leaves her stranded in Anchuria.
The game is divided into 44 sessions, each covering a fictional hour before sunset. Every visit includes cleaning tasks, but Angela can also search Gabriel Ortega’s possessions and interact with his technological devices to uncover information. These discoveries reveal more about Gabriel and a resistance plot, while play can influence the relationship between the two protagonists. Angela’s thoughts and concerns about her brother David form part of the narrative. There is no win-or-lose state. The vendor gives a gameplay range of 90 minutes to 22 hours, depending on the player’s approach.
