Welcome, citizen! Your friendly corporation Metacorp has the pleasure to bring you the newest PRELUDE update to “BEYOND SUNSET”, a synthwave samurai shooter. Enjoy the new prologue episode and a spectacular soundtrack by Karl Vincent.

MESSAGE INCOMING
Samurai,
Our intel shows that Metacorp has upgraded their software with the PRELUDE protocol. This means that Beyond Sunset now starts with a prologue chapter, and Karl Vincent’s spectacular synthwave soundtrack a.k.a. SYNTHTRACK is now available for purchasing.
Episode 0: New Life is an upgraded version of the much-praised demo episode, now with improved mechanics, rebalancing, and some minor quality-of-life changes.
For you, this episode means answers. You can learn what happened before Raven dropped Lucy at that street corner. Before the massacre started. Take this opportunity, but beware. If you’re expecting a cakewalk just because this is a prelude, you’re going to be surprised.
And make sure that synthwave sound stays with you at all time.
Stay safe,
[NAME REMOVED BY NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR
