CHASER
Get close.
Not too close.
A vehicle, your instruments and a storm on the horizon. Hit the road, find your observation point and know when to head back.

EVERY CHASE, A DISCOVERY
Read the sky. Find your way.
The best observation is not always in the safest place. Plan your approach, watch the radar and find your balance between curiosity and risk.
Prepare to head out.
Check the forecast, choose your vehicle and pack the right instruments for the chase.
Find your position.
Drive across roads and fields. Observe the storm from different angles, take photographs and collect data.
Return. Then go further.
Watch your fuel and vehicle condition. Return to campus, upgrade your equipment and investigate new phenomena.
TWO HEMISPHERES. NEW HORIZONS.
A different sky. A different chase.
From the open roads of the Great Plains to the rice fields of Bangladesh, each region changes the terrain and your approach.
NORTH AMERICAGreat Plains
Straight roads, an open horizon and room to watch a supercell take shape.
FROM THE FORECAST TO THE FIELD
Your next discovery starts at the base.
Campus is where you set out and return. Visit the Sensor Workshop, Datacenter and Forecast Center. At the Oceanographic Center, plan mooring lines and pilot vessels to deploy buoys.
Room to grow in the garage
From your first vehicle to an armored interceptor, balance mobility, resilience and instruments.
Data from inside the storm
Mesonet, weather balloons and ground probes expand what you can observe on each trip.
Research opens new paths
Collect data at the Datacenter and develop the Forecast Center to plan your next chases.
FROM THE GAME
From the storm to the ocean.
Ten images from 0.8.12: campus, scientists, the Workshop, Datacenter, buoys and rogue waves. Four show the game's Portuguese interface. Tornadoes, the Professor's room and flight complete the selection with captures from 0.8.10–0.8.11.

Yes. The campaign is a single-player experience with exploration, data collection and vehicle and equipment progression.
Which languages are supported?
The game is being developed in Portuguese and English.
