What's up peeps!
We have been busy working away on further game improvements to bring out the best of Die After Sunset, but in the meantime we thought it would be cool to share with you a little bit about the story within the game so you can really connect with the characters.
Where it all begins...
An alien race capable of traveling through time known as the Murkors has completely conquered the planet overnight. No one knows how they got here, but everyone feels as if they have always been among us. The Murkors, negatively affected by the light of the Sun, have been able to extinguish it. One last city resists the attacks of the creatures, it is the day of the final battle.
April Blazestrong, a rookie officer, is part of the troops defending the city when she is caught in an explosion and dies in combat. She immediately wakes up in her apartment that same morning, with a difference: In the middle of the apartment is a strange artefact new to April.
A voice coming from it tells her that it comes from the future and she is the only chance to save humanity. She has been locked in a time loop and has two choices: Go out the door and die again in the same battle or help her stop the Murkor invasion.
What happens next...
The voice will guide April through a series of locations through time to stop the invasion, prevent them from shutting down the Sun and save Earth from its terrible fate. In these locations, the Murkors have modified the history of mankind to bring us to the terrible, dark present that our protagonist knows. Stopping the alien leaders who caused these changes is the main objective, but playing with a time loop is dangerous and as you solve missions they will be mixed between eras, leaving the fabric of time in a very delicate state.
The Invaded Timelines
- High Waikiki Beach, Year 2019
- Treasure Island, Year 1701
- Mock Town, Year 1849
- Yggdrasil, Year 841
- The End of the World, Year 2120
Luckily you will have all the opportunities you need to achieve your goal: every time you die you return to the apartment and the loop begins again. Each time April manages to get further; the reality through the window from the skyscraper she lives in changes for the better. The only way out will be to reach the end and see the birth of a new day.
