Naturally, it takes place in the seemingly Utopian Arcadia

American Arcadia starts off with an idealistic trailer setup, showcasing a futuristic Utopia: then gets pretty dark pretty quick. Yep, that’s kind of the concept for a lot of these far-future sci-fi games, but this one in particular looks super interesting, especially in terms of how you interact with the narrative.

We heard from the project roughly a month ago, but now we have a little more than the 30 second teaser to go off of: a two minute trailer! You play as Trevor Hills, who is stuck in a sort of Truman Show-like situation, and wants to uh, leave.

Eric has a great in-depth look at it here, just in case you haven’t checked out the premise yet! It’s set for “PC and console” at some point.
