Have you ever wondered what it would be like to partake in a high-speed car chase? Typically, the first thing that comes to mind is outrunning the police, something you can already do in games like Grand Theft Auto. However, there’s currently a game under development that takes the car chase premise and puts a horrifying twist on it.
