Announcing our second game WITH tribeca 2022: American Arcadia
After all these months, we are extremely happy to finally share with you what we have been developing: American Arcadia. And once more, we are working together with our friends at Raw Fury to make it a reality.
American Arcadia is a thrilling single player experience that combines two gameplay styles: a 2.5D action side-scroller including challenging platform action, breath-taking chases, stealth and puzzles - as well as a full 3D first-person game, with hacking, exploration, stealth elements, and puzzles to solve.
The game takes inspiration from movies and TV shows like The Truman Show, Logan’s Run or The Prisoner. As in Call of the Sea, we love to create striking, visually appealing worlds, and in this case we have chosen a bright and colorful version of the 70’s. The characters, the furniture, the environments, represent this utopian and kitsch version of a 70’s city.
In our games, we like to design characters that are not what you would usually expect in a video game. Meet Trevor Hills, an average man enjoying a mundane life in Arcadia, the retro futuristic 70s city that is nothing but a huge TV set for the most watched reality show in America. Meet Angela Solano, a Puerto Rican stage technician that works for the show and will help Trevor escape. But these characters wouldn’t shine if it weren’t for our amazing cast of Voice Talent. We have Cissy Jones and Yuri Lowenthal on board again, because we absolutely adored their performances as Norah and Harry in Call of the Sea. And we welcome the talented Krizia Bajos to the cast, and many more.
We are also really proud to share that American Arcadia has been selected as part of the Tribeca 2022 Festival Games Program - make sure to follow @AmericanArcadia on twitter for the latest coverage.

On behalf of the whole Out of the Blue team, we hope you like it!
