Editorial overview
What it is
Escape from a televised utopia in Out of the Blue’s brand new puzzle-platformer game.
Welcome to Arcadia! A 70's retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort… unaware that they’re being broadcast live 24/7! Arcadia is not an ordinary city, but the most watched reality show on the planet - where a drop in popularity ratings comes at the highest cost: death.
Uncover the truth and escape with your life in American Arcadia!
The premise
The gripping story will be presented as a documentary with interviews and police interrogations of the characters as you progress through the game. American Arcadia gives you control over two characters in completely different environments and unique play-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.
