Trevor Hills lives in Arcadia, a polished retro-futuristic city whose residents are unknowingly filmed around the clock for a reality show. When his low popularity puts him in danger, technician Angela Solano works from inside the production company to help him escape.
Play as Trevor in side-scrolling 2.5D sections, running, jumping, climbing, hiding, and navigating hazards. As Angela, explore in first person and hack cameras and other devices to alter the environment and clear his path.
The two perspectives alternate and sometimes overlap, requiring you to guide Trevor while Angela manipulates nearby systems. Puzzles, stealth passages, and timed chase sequences shape the escape as new situations and mechanics appear along the way.
Many reviewers enjoy the story and characters, often describing the alternating perspectives as a refreshing way to tell the escape story. The colorful retro-futuristic art and voice acting also receive frequent praise. Some find the puzzles and platforming straightforward or repetitive, while others mention unclear actions and trial-and-error during certain chase sections.
