Quote:
Welcome to Suburbia, just outside the City, sometime in 198X. This is the journey of Kid, a teenager stuck between the limitations of innocent youth and the obligations of inevitable adulthood. The story unfolds when Kid discovers the local arcade – finding new worlds, and new meaning, in video games. For every visit to the arcade – every game uncovered, every move mastered, every demon defeated – Kid grows stronger. And the lines between game and reality starts to blur…

Quote:
198X is not just a beat ’em up, a shoot ’em up, a racing game, a ninja game and an RPG. This is a love letter to the golden age of arcade games – yet with a scope that was never possible in the actual 1980s. It’s a story about finding yourself – and your self-confidence – in the world of video games. A coming-of-age story told through multiple game genres, worlds and characters. Feel the sensation of fighting, shooting, driving, jumping and role-playing – combined with emotional, cinematic storytelling.

And what happens when the line between reality and game starts to blur…?

The sad thing is.. I don't know if it sold well at all, the developer presence on Steam is non-existent and there's been no talk of "Part 2" anywhere. It really is a shame because the game, what little there is, rocks.

Console games do tend to sell better, so I hope so... but I also hope that means they put the proceeds into making Part 2 for PC as well, and not just Switch Very Happy
