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,
