Kemco's Sci-Fi Mystery Visual Novel, Archetype Arcadia, Now on Google Play

Kemco's latest visual novel, Archetype Arcadia, has launched on Google Play, offering players a deep dive into a dystopian world ravaged by the mysterious disease known as Peccatomania. This immersive narrative experience is set in a future where civilization has crumbled under the weight of this devastating illness, which triggers nightmares, hallucinations, and ultimately, loss of control in its victims.

In Archetype Arcadia, you take on the role of Rust, a resolute protagonist on a mission to save his sister, Kristin, from the clutches of Peccatomania, also known as the Original Sindrome. The only sanctuary left in this bleak world is the virtual realm of Archetype Arcadia, an online game that Rust must navigate to halt the spread of the disease. Logging into the game is crucial, as it's the only way to suppress Peccatomania's progression. However, the stakes are high; a loss in the game means losing all rationality in the real world.

The game's combat system is uniquely driven by Memory Cards, which are fragments of a person's memories transformed into cards. These cards are used to create Avatars that engage in battles. Damage to a Memory Card results in the loss of the associated memory, and if all cards are destroyed, it's game over for Rust.

Peccatomania itself is a formidable force that has been spreading for centuries, starting with nightmares and progressing to daytime hallucinations and aggressive behavior in its final stages. The severity of the disease led to the collapse of civilization, making Archetype Arcadia a critical battleground for survival.

Archetype Arcadia is available on Google Play for $29.99, but Play Pass subscribers can enjoy it for free. If you're looking for more thrilling adventures, check out this list of the best adventure games to play on Android!
