About

Arcade Spirits, a romantic visual novel, follows an alternate timeline set in the year 20XX where the 1983 video game crash never occurred. After a turbulent work history, you are granted employment at the Funplex, a popular arcade, home to a host of unique personalities and customers. Where will this new-found employment take you? Who will you meet along the way? Will you find the romance you're seeking?
Design your own character from the ground up - pronoun, hairstyle, skin tone, hair color, eye color and more are completely customizable and are reflected throughout the game in both gameplay and artwork!
With roleplaying-based choices, you will be able to grow your personality and relationships in any way you desire; Friendship, Platonic or something more intimate! Work hard and build the relationship you desire with a total of seven romanceable characters!
The Identity Identifier System, or IRIS, can track your relationship statuses with all characters throughout Arcade Spirits as well as your personality traits, from Quirky, Steady, and Kindly, to Gutsy and Basically.

Arcade Spirits reviews and comments

My first visual novel ever. It is not my genre but at the end I was really invested in the characters and the story so I guess it did its job
A visual novel with great atmosphere focusing on child friendly friendships and deep connections instead of pure romance. I honestly just wanted to date Percy and I did just that, and I didn't pay attention to anyone else, but Percy was great!

I am delighted to see a "romantic Visual romance" close (or equivalent?) to a dating Sims on steam! The story revolves around a Uchronie meaning that the concept of Arcade spirit is "what would have happened if there hadn't been this famous bug of the year 2000 and that the retro games were always as much appreciated by the public?" I find it good because for the older it makes nostalgic and for the youngest it allows to have a pretty colorful and dynamic background that makes you want to discover the games retros. The gameplay is really light (it's not a criticism after all it's a Visual novel) you just have to choose what you're going to say/do according to what kind of personality you want to be or with which character you want to get closer. The interactivity is then mixed on one side it is true that the choices influx on the relationships/personality but of another the story is really linear and for example no matter the character with whom you will put yourself and your choices: there will be an argument with the partner for X or Y reason. I don't have much to say about music, it's not really what matters to me the most unless they are really irritating. Here it goes, they stick well to the mood. Too bad there is no more choice of customization and illustrations. In short: + interesting story especially if one has experienced the period of the games retros. + The endeant characters. + + IRIS + types of personalities and responses at opportune times. --> In my first part I made a rather erased perso but that has good heart while in my second part I made a personal with warm blood and very Joker! It's fun! -Lack of customization and illustrations. -The story a little linear.
