Welcome to Arcadia! A retro-futuristic metropolis where the citizens don't know they're contestants on the most watched reality show on the planet! Uncover the truth and escape with your life in ‘American Arcadia’!

In American Arcadia, players take on the roles of two characters – each with their own distinct gameplay – whose lives and fates are intertwined. Arcadia is a ‘70s-style, retro-futuristic metropolis where everyone enjoys a life of luxury. But what the citizens don't know is that they are playing a role in American Arcadia, a television show that has been broadcast live 24/7 for decades.

Under the eyes of countless viewers, those who are popular lead a carefree life with nothing to fear. But those who fall out of the audience’s favor risk a far less rosy outcome…

For an average man with an uninteresting life like Trevor Hills, that should mean serious trouble. But Trevor has 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?

The above gives players the first detailed look at this 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.

“Trevor is just an average person living a mundane life, enjoying his daily routine and the small little things that make him happy,” says Tatiana Delgado, co-founder and Creative Director at Out of the Blue. “In the real world that wouldn’t be a problem, but in Arcadia, not being popular enough means trouble. 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?”

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.
