about

Welcome to Arcadia! A 70’s retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort. But what the citizens of Arcadia don't suspect is that they are playing a role in American Arcadia, a television show broadcast live 24/7, that has been on the air for decades.

Under the eyes of countless anonymous observers, the carefree life is tied to the popularity rate. As a favorite of the audience, one has nothing to fear, but a drop in popularity comes at a cost: death.

gameplay

American Arcadia combines two gameplay styles, a 2.5D platformer and a first-person puzzler, to reveal an unique story in a thrilling single player experience.
