A deadly disease has wiped out most of humanity causing nightmares, manic episodes, and eventually death.

  • Vibrant Artwork - Step into a post-apocalyptic world brought to life with striking artwork that makes the experience truly immersive.

  • Experience the Story Through Different Lenses - See the story's events unfold through different peoples perspectives. Piece together different parts of the bigger picture. Is our main character a reliable narrator, or can he too be mistaken?

  • Powerful Memories - Memories become powerful weapons in this Virtual World. Experience tragic and moving moments of the past in order to battle onwards.

  • Gruesome Boss Battles - Bosses hold special memory cards which pave a path to Rust's answers, but their overwhelming power may prove challenging to defeat!

  • Key Choices - There are many options to choose from, each leading to different outcomes, but beware of the Bad Endings!

  • 'Archetype Arcadia' is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on October 24th, 2023!
