What exactly is The Chaser all about? Creator Conor Carpenter fashioned it from brain and fingers in just 12 hours, and claims it’s designed to “induce a state of mind and mood”. Here’s how it does it: by making you chase some poor dude through a forest, seemingly forever. It’s tougher than it looks — as the speed ramps up, one carelessly-strewn rock can send you spinning like a dog in tail-chase mode. And it’s weirder than it looks — why does the chasee occasionally grow to about ten times his normal size, and why do clouds suddenly start appearing on the ground? The Chaser is simple, compelling — and comes with music you’ll be humming in your grave. Play The Chaser (Windows download)
Update: oh, it’s one of those games.
Hah! Is that too cliche now a days? Well at least I got it out of my system. Hope it didn’t ruin it for you. Thanks for the post… cool.
Well it definitely didn’t ruin it for me — just felt it was kind of “Well, that’s that!” The actual running, chasing, racking up points is *really* well done, and it’d be good to have the option to play the game that way too (i.e. save the best score, not let things get *too* hectic, etc.) It’s a compliment basically — I want the option to keep playing!
