Schaltet ein in die tödliche Reality-Show American Arcadia, wo Bürger in luxuriösen Verhältnissen in einer retro-futuristischen Metropole der 70er leben - und rund um die Uhr live an Zuschauer übertragen werden. Trevor Hills, ein unscheinbarer Bürokaufmann, droht wegen mangelnder Beliebtheit die Hinrichtung, bis er mit der Bühnen-Technikerin Angela Solano zusammenarbeitet. Von außen unterstützt sie seine Flucht, indem sie mit technischen Tricks seine Umgebung manipuliert.
Spieler steuern Trevor in 2.5D-Puzzle-Plattform-Abschnitten und wechseln zu Angela für Ego-Shooter-Hacking-Sequenzen. Ihre Kooperation treibt den Fortschritt gegen das manipulative Konzernimperium voran, inmitten einer Story voller Wendungen und Geheimnisse. Indie-Adventure-Fans, die Dual-Character-Puzzle-Plattformer und Hacking-Herausforderungen mögen, kommen bei diesem Zwei-Welten-Ausbruch voll auf ihre Kosten.
Tune in to American Arcadia, the most popular reality tv show on the planet! In this retro-futuristic 70s metropolis all citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort... and are completely unaware that they're being broadcast 24/7!
So escape from the real world and sit back to enjoy the most dangerous contest on air, where a drop in your popularity comes at the highest cost: death.
Trevor Hills is your ordinary, everyday, average man. He’s more than happy with his mundane life as an office clerk. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make him very popular with the ever-important viewers of American Arcadia and sets him up for a one way trip to execution – unless he escapes.
Luckily for Trevor, he’s got help.
Angela Solano is a stage technician for American Arcadia, and she’s determined to make sure that Trevor gets out of Arcadia alive. Assisting from the outside, she uses her technical prowess and wits to manipulate the world around him, clearing the path to his freedom.
But neither Angela nor Trevor are prepared for this escape to become a journey filled with twists, turns, and lies.
Control two different characters in two different worlds as you play through Trevor’s escape in 2.5D puzzle platforming sections and assist him as Angela in first-person hacking gameplay. It’s only by working together that they have any chance to overcome the corporation they’re up against!
After telling the story of love and loss in the 1930’s South Pacific, developers Out of the Blue have created a completely new experience set in a rich world of twists and mystery.
