John Chaser is a man without memory or friends. Alone, in the middle of a bloody conflict, he is trying to find out who he is. His extraordinary fighting abilities enable him to survive, but they raise more questions than they answer.
Chaser awakens on board the spaceship H.M.S. Majestic. He doesn't know why he is being sought by men in black uniforms and what they will do to him when they find him…
The story leads you from the H.M.S. Majestic to Montack City on Earth, then on to Siberia and finally to Mars, where the trail ends and hopefully the truth can be found.
A gripping story full of intrigue, plot twists and believable characters.
Unique game design for a shooter, focused on the story and its presentation through long, thrilling cutscenes.
Fast-paced action with over a dozen weapon types and a skill-heavy "bullet time" mode.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Yes, there are more beautiful shooters out there and, yes, there are technically more impressive shooters out there.
But "Chaser" is a game with a surprisingly good (albeit not very original) story and some really great and memorable levels.
If you like first person shooters you owe it to yourself to try this game - I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
I played Chaser a long time ago, so my memory could be a bit blurry.
I cannot say this is a very very bad shooter, don't buy it. Actually, as I remember, that was first fps with slo-mo (Max Payne was TPS). So it gave some fun to player.
Another good thing - a really nice plot. Amnesia, yes, but searching for original hero identity - that was good made. And, there are similar things to Total Recall movie's plot (journey to Mars, for example).
Not bad visual, as I recall. Especially in Siberia-levels.
But there are some major flaws. Gigantic, half-empty and repetitive levels with few enemies with "dead"-environment. Shooting has no adrenaline due-to lazy AI. Really awful one stealth-level and two underwater levels (I guess, they try to copy similar levels from NOLF, but without early Monolith's talent).
That's all. I am not regret for playing this game, but second walk through... I can't make it. Cause Chaser happen to be boring as shooter.
Chaser isn't bad. Sadly, it also isn't good. In amazement I played some six hours straight of burning mediocrity. The shooting works, the forced stealth is forced, the plot plods along an ok pace and the voice acting is not too terrible.
And that's it. There is NOTHING unique of exceptional about this game, everything has been done and much better (and much worse). If you have played every and all shooters on your list, MAYBE this one is for you. Though I'd rather recommend something else. Like Quake 4, Doom 3, Breed, Timeshift... There's a lot around.
Bought this, at full price, and so far I'm pleased with it. It's why I like FPSs from the late 90s through late 2000s, before graphics became indistinguishable from movies and required massive desktop rendering power.
Interestingly, I hadn't heard of Chaser until browsing at GOG. It's like James Bond 007 NIghtfire meets Halo Combat Evolved. For guys who like straightforward missions, good but not excessive amounts of action, easy to learn yet satisfying weapons, and exciting soundtrack and effects, this is definitely a game you ought to consider.
Playing this game, you'll experience deja vu. That's because you've played games like this before. There's nothing new or particularly good here. You've played better games. The slo-mo isn't as fun as Max Payne 2 or Fear, mostly due to the lack of ragdoll physics. Every criticism people have is completely valid. However, I still kind of like it. I play this when I need a diversion and don't want to think about tactics. I play it with a mod that removes the hud, which makes it more enjoyable.
