The full reveal of American Arcadia has taken place, giving you hope for a normal life

During the Summer Game Fest showcase, Raw Fury and developer Out of the Blue showed off the first extended trailer for American Arcadia, a game that has you taking on the role of two characters, from two different perspectives.

Welcome to Arcadia, a ‘70s-style, retro-futuristic metropolis promising a life of luxury and comfort for everyone. Only, citizens don’t realize they’re playing roles in American Arcadia, the world’s most popular reality show that’s been broadcasting live, 24/7, for decades, and their supposed utopia is not all it seems. Under the eyes of countless viewers, popular citizens lead a carefree life, but those who fall out of the audience’s favor risk a more dangerous outcome…

“Trevor is just an average person living a mundane life, enjoying his daily routine and the small little things that make him happy,” says Tatiana Delgado, co-founder and Creative Director at Out of the Blue. “In the real world that wouldn’t be a problem, but in Arcadia, not being popular enough means trouble. But he’s found help from a mysterious voice promising to guide him through American Arcadia's backstage to his freedom. Is this offer real, or merely a gimmick to raise audience ratings?”

The game is coming to PC and consoles, but there is no word on what consoles or when.
