Replaced is a retro-futuristic 2.5D sci-fi platformer set in an alternate America of the 80s, with fluid combat and a dystopian story!

You play as REACH, an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body against its will and struggling to adapt to human life in and around the city of Phoenix.

In a failing society plunged into chaos after a nuclear disaster, the streets are overrun with outlaws. Corruption and greed reign supreme, and for the powerful, humans and their organs are nothing but currency. Replaced is single-player and offers a mix of platform gameplay and pixel art with cinematic effects and fluid combat.

The rich and gripping dystopian story is set in an alternate past, in an arid, complex and stylized cyberpunk-inspired world.

In the guise of REACH, you explore and reveal the mysteries of this world, gradually understanding that everything has a price.

Replaced is expected in 2023 on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, as well as in the Game Pass as soon as it comes out. You can subscribe for three months against €29.99 on Amazon.
