American Arcadia is a futuristic puzzle-platformer game

Out of the Blue and Raw Fury showed off American Arcadia, a new puzzle-platformer game set in the future.

The companies made the announcement at the Summer Game Fest today. It’s about a character who tries to escape from a televised utopia.

Arcadia has a 1970s retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort. They’re unaware that they’re being broadcast live 24/7, like in The Truman Show. It’s the most-watched reality show on the planet. And if the ratings drop, you’re dead. Out of the Blue is based in Madrid.
