Premiering American Arcadia’s full trailer at Summer Game Fest
Some months ago we showed you a sneak peek of American Arcadia as we announced it had been nominated for the Tribeca 2022 Games Selection.
Now we are proud to present the official trailer reveal that has been unveiled at Summer Game Fest!
This world premiere gives players the first detailed look at our upcoming 2.5D platformer and first-person puzzler, where players explore the unique stories of two characters – each with their own distinct gameplay – whose lives and fates are intertwined.
"As we did with Call of the Sea, we wanted to move into a world that was evocative for us. We like to create worlds that are striking, visually appealing, and evocative." - commented Daniel Nombela, Art Director at Out of the Blue Games- "We also like to give them a twist and in this case, we have chosen a bright and colorful vision of the 70s. The characters, the environments, and even the furniture represent this utopian and kitsch version of a city of the 70s."

“Trevor is just an average person, living a mundane life and enjoying his daily routine, the small little things that make him happy,” says Tatiana Delgado, Co-founder and Creative Director at Out of the Blue Games. “In the real world that wouldn’t be a problem, but in Arcadia, not being popular enough means trouble. So when he realizes that everything was a lie and that they want to get rid of him, his life changes completely”.

But he’s found help from a mysterious voice promising to guide him through American Arcadia's backstage to his freedom. Is this offer real, or merely a gimmick to raise audience ratings?
"In American Arcadia, nothing is what it seems, and we have tried to convey that idea in the puzzles as well” - declares Álvaro González, Lead Game Designer - "In most cases, the solution is never what it initially seems. The player will always have to use logic and deduction to figure out how to solve the situations presented to him."
American Arcadia is part of this year’s TRIBECA Games Festival, running until June 19. Those interested in playing the exclusive demo can book a screening at TRIBECA's website. More information on the title will also be revealed during this year’s Future Games Show on June 11
