The Chase as an experiment to see what would happen, if you applied mario-style autoscrolling to a turn based roguelike game.

There are two versions available: 1.0, and 1.1. 1.0 is exactly as released at the end of the 7 days. 1.1 is 1.0 with exactly one change: The level is somewhat shorter, and therefore potentially winnable.
Gamer24h Editor's Take
Put under the Gamer24h team's microscope, The Chase (itch) raises the bar considerably with both its storytelling and technical polish. Developer Lachlan Kingsford has done a remarkable job of drawing players into its world, earning our admiration with its attention to detail. Masterfully blending RPG mechanics with modern standards, the game's fluid gameplay makes hours fly by unnoticed. All in all, the Gamer24h team stands firmly behind our rating. This is a unique journey you won't want to miss.
