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

Arcade Spirits originally released back in February 2019, but is now coming to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch on May 1st, 2020. If you’ve not yet played it, but find yourself wanting to, then here’s us telling you straight up: buy this game. You won’t regret it.

Arcade Spirits is available to pre-order digitally on the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. You’ll also be able to grab a physical copy by purchasing through major retailers like GameStop and Best Buy.
