American Arcadia is a captivating cinematic puzzle game that seamlessly combines elements of 2.5D platforming and first-person gameplay, immersing players in a thrilling narrative of escaping from a dangerous situation. The plot centers on Trevor, an unremarkable man who finds himself at the center of the events of the world's most famous reality show. The game takes place in the metropolis "American Arcadia" - a retrofuturistic place reminiscent of the 1970s. Here residents live in luxury and comfort, not paying attention to the fact that their every move is broadcast around the clock to a global audience. The appeal of the show lies in its dangerous nature, where falling popularity can cost the participants their lives.
Trevor Hills is a typical office clerk, content with his mundane existence. However, in the eyes of TV viewers, this makes him a low-ranking figure, which puts him on a one-way path to execution unless he can find a way out. Fortunately, Trevor finds an ally in Angela Solano, a stage technician at American Arcadia. Angela strives to ensure Trevor's survival by using her technical prowess and cunning to manipulate the world around him, opening his path to freedom. As the story progresses, players control two different characters in two different worlds. In the 2.5D puzzle platformer, they help Trevor escape and Angela hack the world in first person. Only through joint efforts will they be able to bypass the formidable corporation standing in their way.
