American Arcadia – May 15th
Arcadia, a 70s retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort… unaware that they’re being broadcast live 24/7! Arcadia is not an ordinary city, but the most watched reality show on the planet, where a drop in popularity ratings comes at the highest cost: death.
For an average man with an uninteresting life like Trevor Hills, this could mean serious trouble. Luckily, Trevor is being helped by a mysterious voice who will guide him through American Arcadia’s backstage to his freedom. But is this all real, or just another show gimmick to raise?
Kalina reviewed American Arcadia on Steam and gave it our highest score of Two Thumbs up and said this in her conclusion:
American Arcadia is a fun, colorful adventure with a sense of humor, clever puzzles, and enough sense of danger to keep you going forward. It’s the perfect escape for the wintry months ahead!

But a ban on the education of magic has caused unrest, leading to the rise of a separatist movement to liberate the Sky Province from Evaria.
