In Beyond Sunset, you awake from cryostasis with lost memories hidden in the fog of hypersleep. You immediately begin manifesting powerful abilities, lightning-fast reactions, and innate combat skills giving you supernatural agility. Recognizing your talents, a mysterious woman named Yuri offers you a deal, where in exchange for giving you your memories back, you need to use these powers to become a street samurai in the crime-ridden, plague-stricken Sunset City.
As you progress, you will get to upgrade and develop Lucy to grow more resilient and powerful. Follow this by exploring the large, open, interactive levels full of NPCs that you can talk to.
