Remember arcades?

In today’s contest you can win a physical PS4 or Switch copy of visual novelArcade Spirits!

The last true arcade I remember seeing was an Aladdin’s Castle at the mall in Virginia Beach. I have fond memories of going there and wasting away the afternoon while my parents shopped, or ate, or snuck off to visit the orphanage to window shop for a better kid, or whatever adults do while kids are trying to relax. It didn’t have the greatest selection ever, but at least it existed.

The ghost at the end of the hallway

What if the 1983 video game marketing crash never happened? Set in 20XX,Arcade Spiritsis a visual novel romantic comedy with a different history, where arcades still reign supreme as the ultimate place to play. After a period of turbulent employment, your character starts an exciting new job at the Funplex: a popular local arcade with a team of staff that are as eccentric as the customers.

From fierce pro-gamers and dedicated high-score chasers, to creative cosplayers and tinkering programmers, the neon lights and buzzing atmosphere of the Funplex is a welcome home to many. But where will this new-found employment opportunity take you? Who will you meet along the way? And will you finally find the romance you’ve been seeking?

If I could have picked my own skin tone at conception, I would have definitely gone with something other than “A-ghost-that-has-just-seen-a-ghost white.” It’s not a good look.
