About the game

Follow R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, on a cinematic adventure through an alternate 1980s America. Explore an atmospheric cyberpunk world full of high-stakes action wrapped in a unique 2.5D pixel art style.

An Unforgettable Narrative Adventure

Face the consequences of Phoenix Corporation's actions through the eyes of its own creation, R.E.A.C.H.—an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body. Navigate a world steeped in corruption, where body parts are traded like currency and humanity withers with every transplanted organ. Confront the Corporation—and the truth behind your creation.

Retro-Futurism Reimagined

The world of REPLACED is brought to life through a signature 2.5D style: best in class pixel art enhanced by modern depth-of-field, lighting, and cinematic visual effects. Combined with a moody, synth-driven soundtrack, REPLACED delivers a thick, immersive atmosphere that pulls you into a fractured timeline where everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong.

Can an AI become human?

Every character R.E.A.C.H. meets, every story told, and every Phoenix Corporation agenda exposed raises a question: what defines us as human?
Find your own answers exploring the world of the Disposals—the outcasts of Phoenix-City—filled with gray morality, unexpected twists, and raw emotions.

Sleek, Immersive Action

Survival in Phoenix-City requires more than just answers. Navigate crumbling districts and neon-lit alleys with fluid, cinematic movement. When the shadows bite back, engage in brutal combat that emphasizes impact and atmosphere over pure sport. Experience a seamless blend of exploration, platforming, and combat encounters as this neo-noir thriller unfolds.
