About the Game

CHASER is a high-speed first-person precision platformer where your only competition is yourself. Replay levels while chasing the ghost of your past runs, controlling your Walkman and retrowave playlist. Find new lines and hidden movement techniques to achieve the highest rank and lowest time for each level.

Features:

  • Replayability - There's not a "right way" to complete a level, only faster ways. Discover new lines after every successful run, perfecting them for a higher rank and lower time.

  • Music - Control a randomized playlist of retrowave tunes from your Walkman while in-game, skipping or replaying songs tailored to the environment.

  • Speed - There is no cap on how fast you can move; chaining slides, wallruns, grapples, and ground slams together rewards the player with potentially infinite speed.
