About This Game

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…

This is 198X – where a new life is just 1 credit away.

Estimated play time: 2 hours

That's a good game, but I really wish it was a bit longer. The story is nothing to really write home about, but telling it through snippets of classic arcade games was indeed pretty intereresting and a nostalgic experience to those who also grew up playing videogames. I hope the developer makes some longer, equally interesting sequences to this title
