Velvet Sundown is an new game that gives players a unique mix of social engagements and serious role-playing elements.

In Velvet Sundown, players take on the role of one of at least four randomly selected characters who find themselves as passengers on board a luxury yacht. Each character has their own unique background stories and missions that players must strive to fulfill. A unique feature in gameplay is that the success of each mission depends on the player’s skill in interacting with other players, which takes place primarily through chat functionality.  There are no pre-populated questions and answers, rather every player can let their fantasy run free in trying to persuade others players.

Velvet Sundown will feature Tribe Studios’ patent pending Dramagame technology where no two games unfold the same way, and new stories and dramas can be implemented in the game with ease. The story contains tens of millions of different outcome variations, giving the game previously undreamt of depth and replay value.

A single Velvet Sundown multi-player game session unfolds in the length of a typical TV show, about 45 minutes, in which players can immerse themselves into their characters.
