    I think people usually play other kind of game and it´s the reason because they don´t understand this game.

    Sunset is a narrative game, more like a graphic adventure game. You immerse yourself in a story, a atmosphere. The details are that discover to you more about the characters. It is not a game for thrill seekers, no doubt, BUT the atmosphere is very successful, and makes you feel distress in many times.. You're a woman living in a country in conflict. A war about to start. Soldiers break into the house. Bombs explode around you... The atmosphere in the seventies is wonderful and it have a lot of references to history, music, books, famous people... There are a really big and good job of environment and game history.
    It´s a very good recommendation for the video-game lovers. Not for the only-one-or-two-type-of-video-game lovers. ;)    … Expand

    A flawed, but hugely intriguing experiment in interactive storytelling. Despite the somewhat clunky writing and binary choices, what Sunset does in terms of atmosphere, world-building and theming is very much worth exploring. [Sept 2015]

    While everything of interest is taking place on the streets, we stay indoors and clean up stuff. [Sept 2015, p.83]

    An interesting idea lacking the interaction or writing to make it anything other than a labour to get through. [Summer 2015, p.69]
