About the Game

Welcome to the first game from Atale Studios and the "Arca" saga.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSE:
Years ago, planet Earth was struck by an unexpected collision with a star moving at an abnormal speed. This resulted in millions of fatalities and horrific events. However, with humanity's goal of thriving, thousands of ships, led by major corporations and carrying hundreds of humans each, were sent into space towards planets offering chances of survival, with the hope of finding a new "Earth."

In this science fiction universe, the focus is on showcasing the different outcomes of each of the ships that left Earth in search of a new home. This first game tells the story of ARCA-102.

ABOUT THE GAME:
In "Arca-102," you play as James, a mercenary hired by the organization Cogito Corpus to carry out some objectives aboard one of the colonizing ships (called ARCA-102), which is mysteriously and supposedly abandoned, from the planet Akasei.

Complete the objectives before time runs out to finish your job, or face different alternative endings if you fail.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Genre: The game is primarily an Escape Room with psychological horror elements (though these are not the main focus). The goal of an Escape Room is to complete your objectives before time runs out.

Art Style: The unique art style uses shaders that transform the lighting and details of objects into a retro style with a slight cartoonish effect, immersing the player into the initial proposal.
