LGBT+ friendly Arcade Spirits is now available to pre-order for consoles
Can you imagine a time when the 80s video game crash never happened? Well, now you don’t have to thanks to LGBT+ friendly Arcade Spirits, a romantic, visual novel from Fiction Factory Games that takes place in an alternate timeline in the year 20XX.
The setting of the game takes place in a popular arcade, the Funplex, where the player works. It’s during their time at work that player will encounter a number of unique, colorful individuals that you can form relationships with — platonic or romantic. How this plays out is, of course, entirely dependent on the decisions you make as you play the game.
Here’s certain features that you can expect from Arcade Spirits:
- Customize Everything – From hairstyle, skin tone, hair color, eye color, pronoun and more.
- Self-designed Personality – Traits form based on the decisions and relationships the player chooses to make.
- Unique Characters – Interact with various unique personalities to form platonic friendships or something more intimate, with seven romanceable characters and many other quirky individuals to mingle with.
- Identity Tracker – Track relationship status with each character and personality traits with the Identity Identifier System, or “IRIS.”
- Arcade Adventure – Decisions made throughout the game will affect the Funplex’s fate, including the relationships developed or the way key moments of crisis management are handled
