BEWARE - A creepy, atmospheric racing game

I'm very impresed with this indie game i discovered today and the premise of driving from A to B while you are being chasing by the AI trying to destroy you. The physics of the car and the graphics/ambience looks really awesome to me.

Description of the game by the autor:

I will be writing a more detailed post about this. Very simply put, it's about driving from A to B while avoiding getting killed and learning what happened to the game's world and where all of it's inhabitants went. Generally speaking, as of today, there is no master plan graved in stone. I'm quite new to game development and find the non-linearity to be very exciting (and still unexplored territory IMHO). I really enjoy creating universes which unfold during the creation process, sometimes leading to completely unforeseen directions.

Very simply put, the goal is to drive from A to B, with various obstacles on the way. The goons, the terrain. I know, I'm still being kind of purposefully vague atm.

The roads are authored although I do think about procedural generation for some special scenarios.

About VR mode:
We're thinking about VR support - let's hope the technology prevails during the coming years. Also, changing the way the rear-view mirrors behave could help.

The game and its story is based on this short film from the developer:


He said he's been working on the driving AI for years; multiple vehicles can work together like one blocking and another attempting a PIT

Thanks mods for the title change!

This looks fantastic. I really hope there are periods of calm with nothing chasing the player to really make the chase sequences intense. Reminds me a bit of Deadly Premonition, of all things, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
 
Very atmospheric screenshots. Although the final game would be wise to keep the enemies more obscured or made more sinister looking then in some of the screen and gifs. It takes out of the atmosphere a little when you see all the folks chasing you are potatoes on legs. Although I imagine it would still be very terrifying in VR.

Looks pretty awesome.

The cars don't seem to cast shadows though after being lit with the headlights. They should add this IMO.

Damn, what an amazingly simple but clever concept. Love the atmosphere, that game is going to be tense as fuck.
