Chase St.

The sun has set over a quiet American suburb, and the walk home has turned unfamiliar. In this minimal third-person horror experience, you are pursued by something unknown. What begins as a solitary presence soon becomes an oppressive, unrelenting force. As darkness thickens, the neighborhood stretches and twists, and the path home feels endless.

What you experience

You are never truly alone. The stalker is persistent, threatening, and desperate. Every step moves you closer to home, and them closer to you. The game is designed as a short, high-tension experience that shines in a single sitting, though you may find yourself returning to the dark more often than you planned.

Gameplay and immersion

• Minimal UI: Full immersion with a restrained interface to keep you focused on the moment.
• Minimal controls: Move and run are the core actions; simplicity heightens tension and urgency.
• Learned behaviours: Navigate home by reflecting on past attempts—the choices you make shape future routes.
• Persistent threat: The stalker remains present and relentless, driving you to adapt and endure.
• Endings and looping: Capture is not the end, but neither is escape—progress comes from understanding the pattern of pursuit.

Experience and design

Inspired by psychological horror films and short-form indie games like The Exit 8, Chase St. emphasizes mood, tension, and atmosphere over combat. The environment feels alive with distortion and looming threat as you creep toward safety, one uncertain step at a time.

Platform and scope

Built as a compact, high-tension journey meant to be played in a single sitting, Chase St. is optimized for Steam Deck and accessible on other platforms. It invites you to confront the unknown, endure the darkness, and decide what it means to move forward when the path never truly ends.
