About this game

Roof down, radio up, sun on the horizon. Sunset Drive is an arcade road racer in the spirit of the 80s checkpoint classics, rebuilt in bold toon 3D with a glowing synthwave sky.

Beat the clock to every checkpoint. Weave through traffic and shave past cars for near-miss bonuses that put seconds back on the timer and refill your nitro. Tap drift to slide through the bends, catch a slipstream behind a truck, fly off hill crests, and outrun the police when the sirens start.

Every stage ends at a fork. Go left for the easier road or right for the harder one with bigger points. Five stages deep, the road splits into 16 different routes, each with its own ending to discover: palm coast, desert canyon, neon city, snowy pass and volcano road, with the light shifting from golden afternoon to starry night as you drive.

  • Route Run: 5 stages, 4 forks, 16 endings to collect on your route map
  • Endless Highway: how far can you get before the clock runs out?
  • Daily Route: the same road and car for everyone, one new challenge per day
  • 6 original cars to unlock, each with its own handling, plus paint jobs
  • Pick your radio station before you drive: 4 synthwave tracks
  • Near-miss chains, drifts, jumps, slipstream and police chases
  • Achievements, medals and personal bests to chase
  • Simple one-thumb steering: hold a side or drag

No real brands, just you, the road and the sunset.
