After Call of the Sea, Out of Blue and Raw Fury are teaming up once more for a very different adventure.
In new game American Arcadia players will be offered a tantalizing fusion of 2.5D platforming with first-person puzzling. You will assume the role of two characters, one in the platformer, the other in the puzzler. Their fates and lives may be on different planes, but they are closely connected in terms of American Arcadia’s sci-fi-tinged story.
The titular city of Arcadia is a 70’s retro-futuristic metropolis where everyone enjoys 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, which has been on the air for decades. Under the eyes of countless anonymous observers, their carefree life is tied to their popularity rating. As a favourite of the audience, one has nothing to fear, but a drop in popularity comes at a cost: death.
For an average man with an uninteresting life like Trevor Hills that would mean serious trouble, but luckily Trevor is being helped by a mysterious voice who will guide him through American Arcadia’s backstage to his freedom. But is this all real, or just another show gimmick to raise audience ratings?
Fleshing out the story is a bevy of talented voice actors including Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Life is Strange, Call of the Sea).
More information about American Arcadia will be revealed during this year’s Tribeca Games Festival, as well as the Summer Games Fest.
