About the Game

Arcadia is the last known bastion of society after a nuclear fallout 100 years ago. Following a rebellion some decades past, all vault inhabitants are required to consume a reality altering psychedelic found on the surface world called Golden Teachers or face “retirement.” Play as Marshal, a recruit in the Foragers, an elite reconnaissance unit whose primary purpose is the search and retrieval of GT. As you journey above for the first time, Marshal increasingly begins to question what is so bad about the real state of existence that he cannot be allowed to see it sober. Will your journey for the truth be your undoing?

Features:
  • Walk through the riveting story to see life after nuclear fallout as it really is
  • Interact with a few objects throughout the game
