American Arcadia is presented in the form of a documentary, with interviews and interrogation scenes. Out Of The Blue are expanding on the first-person puzzles from Call Of The Sea by introducing some 2.5D platforming this time around. One of two playable characters will do the jumping and the other will be the first-person expert. Maybe they’re not great multitaskers? It hasn’t been revealed who the other character you’ll play as is, but I’ll bet on Trevor’s mysterious guide. Both types of play promise stealth and puzzles, but it sounds like the platforming sections will see more action and the first-person bits will focus on fiddly stuff like hacking mini-games. Hopefully the latter will end up in a museum one day. Even though it’s just been announced, American Arcadia has made the cut for this year’s Tribeca Festival. It’s one of nine official selections for this year’s festival, which also includes Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, as well as Sam Barlow’s latest, Immortality. A short demo will be on show from June 11-19th if you happen to be in New York City then. More details about the game should be forthcoming at the Summer Game Fest in June, too, according to Out Of The Blue. That’s hopefully when we’ll find out American Arcadia’s release date, but in the mean time, you can head to its Steam page if you want to keep an authoritarian eye on it. If you’re particularly snoopy then there’s more info on its official site too.
