WELCOME

TO ARCADIA

Tune in to American Arcadia, the most popular reality tv show on the planet!

In this retro-futuristic 70s metropolis all citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort... and are completely unaware that they're being broadcast 24/7!

So escape from the real world and sit back to enjoy the most dangerous contest on air, where a drop in your popularity comes at the highest cost: death.

MEET TREVOR

Trevor Hills is your ordinary, everyday, average man.

He’s more than happy with his mundane life as an office clerk. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make him very popular with the ever-important viewers of American Arcadia and sets him up for a one-way trip to execution – unless he escapes.

Luckily for Trevor, he’s got help. 

MEET ANGELA

Angela Solano is a stage technician for American Arcadia, and she’s determined to make sure that Trevor gets out of Arcadia alive. Assisting from the outside, she uses her technical prowess and wits to manipulate the world around him, clearing the path to his freedom. 

But neither Angela nor Trevor are prepared for this escape to become a journey filled with twists, turns, and lies.

TWO EXPERIENCES, ONE GAME

Control two different characters in two different worlds as you play through Trevor’s escape in 2.5D puzzle platforming sections and assist him as Angela in first-person hacking gameplay. It’s only by working together that they have any chance to overcome the corporation they’re up against!

FROM THE STUDIO THAT BROUGHT YOU “CALL OF THE SEA”

After telling the story of love and loss in the 1930’s South Pacific, developers Out of the Blue have created a completely new experience set in a rich world of twists and mystery.

Play through a layered narrative with the trademark polish and artistry from an award-winning studio with seasoned acting veterans Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man 1 & 2, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends), and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Call of the Sea) others bringing the characters and world to life.
