About American Arcadia

About this game

Escape from your own TV show in American Arcadia from Out of the Blue Games.

Unveiling the Enigma of American Arcadia

Set in a retro-futuristic 70s metropolis, American Arcadia is a reality TV show where the citizens are blissfully ignorant of being under constant surveillance. Deemed a captivating spectacle by its audience, the show's popularity soars. However, its participants pay a deadly price for their dwindling popularity. Each citizen is poised on the precipice of an irrevocable fate - death, unless they manage a daring escape.

Journey of Trevor Hills - The Underdog

Thrust into this dangerous vortex is Trevor Hills, an ordinary office clerk whose popularity with the audience is waning due to his monotonous life. With execution looming over him, Trevor's only hope is a daring escape from the treacherous confines of American Arcadia. Fortunately for Trevor, he's not alone in this daunting mission. Angela Solano, a stage technician for American Arcadia, is determined to help him elude the fatal fate that awaits him.

The Great Escape

As players, you'll navigate through the intricacies of this game as both Trevor and Angela. Trevor's escape unfolds through engaging 2.5D puzzle platforming sections, while Angela's first-person hacking gameplay aids him from the outside. Developers Out of the Blue weave a compelling narrative filled with unexpected twists and turns. As you try to outwit the omnipresent corporation, the game transforms into a journey of suspense, deceit, and most importantly, an unwavering pursuit of freedom.
