Is the Ensh*ttification of everything around you wigging you out, resulting in much distress and sadness? Would you breathe a massive sigh of relief if you could do something fun for the sake of fun, and for absolutely no other reason, for like 5 freaking minutes? Dear Friend, there is a game for you. Planet Arcade is an adventure game in the style of a retro RPG. It's a love letter to classic PC adventure games, minus the punishing obscurity, plus cuteness. In place of traditional battles, key plot points are advanced through light-hearted (and often pointless) minigames, some of which are stylistic tributes to classic arcade games, some of which are essentially fever dreams. As a game that breaks a lot of rules, genre and otherwise, it pretty much has to be played to be understood. If you get all worked up about mega-blockbuster titles with AAA graphics that are loaded with micro-transactions and can only be played on space-age, top-of-the-line machinery, and, conversely, you hate fun, retro-inspired games made by regular old humans which tug on your millennial heartstrings and can be played on a toaster,* look elsewhere. Planet Arcade is likely not your deal. ( Nothing is everyone's.) If, however , you happen to LOVE the idea of a lo-fi game by an indie dev about friendship, not being a dick, and building a new, awesome world in the face of unprecedented destruction, try Planet Arcade. You might even have fun ! Imagine that. Love, Kid Chemical TLDR , This game is NOT for you if you LOVE : -boring sh*t -lame sh*t -sh*t that isn't funny -being a dick -remaining stuck forever in broken paradigms -super fancy sh*t *game can not actually be played on toaster
