American Arcadia is a cinematic puzzle game that combines a 2.5D platformer and first-person gameplay to tell the extraordinary tale and experience of Trevor, an average man escaping from the world's most popular reality TV show.

American Arcadia is set in a 70’s retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort, where no one suspects that they are playing a role in American Arcadia, a television show that is broadcast live 24/7 and has been on the air for decades.

The carefree life of the citizens are tied to the popularity rate, and as a favorite 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 which guides him through American Arcadia's backstage to his freedom. But is this all real, or just another show gimmick to raise audience ratings?

Key features in American Arcadia include:

• Two Experiences in One Game — Control two different characters in two different worlds with unique gameplay, and play as Trevor to flee Arcadia in a 2.5D puzzle-platformer all while exploring and hacking in first-person to help him as Angela. Players must work together to overcome the powerful corporation trying to take them down.

• Escape a ‘70s Televised Utopia — Experience a gripping new adventure crafted with all the trademark polish, artistry and mystery from the studio behind the award-winning Call of the Sea. Players will discover a rich story and unforgettable characters set in the world’s most dangerous reality TV show and filled with twists, turns, and lies at every turn.

• Vibrant Characters & Performances — The incomparable voice talents of Yuri Lowenthal, Krizia Bajos and Cissy Jones breathe life into the world and characters of American Arcadia.
