Chaser

Chaser is a story-driven action game set in 2044, amid a struggle over control of Mars and its mining rights. The United Nations creates MARSCORP (Martian Security and Economics Committee), led by Samuel Longwood. Over time, Longwood uses his autonomous status and a non-transparent licensing policy to bring corporations into vassal relationships with MARSCORP. The companies support MARSCORP’s power in exchange for additional rights and licenses, making Longwood and his consortium extremely wealthy. When dissenting members demand his dismissal and a redistribution of mining rights, Longwood has a plan of his own.

You awaken as Chaser aboard the spaceship H.M.S. Majestic, with no memory of who you are or why men in black uniforms are hunting you. You follow the trail from the ship to Montack City on Earth, then through Siberia and on to Mars, searching for your identity and the reason you are being pursued.

Weapons and environments

The game uses Cauldron’s cloakNT engine, which is designed to render large environments. Nearly all of its weapons are modelled on real-life equivalents, with detailed replicas.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer is available through GameSpy and dedicated servers. Modes include teamplay in the style of Counter-Strike and Team Fortress, as well as deathmatch and capture the flag.
