About This Game

Can an AI become human?

Uncover the sinister secrets of Phoenix Corporation through the eyes of its own creation, R.E.A.C.H.—an AI trapped in a human body against its will. 

In an alternate 1980s America reshaped by nuclear catastrophe, Phoenix-City has become a stronghold of corruption. Here, outlaws thrive, body parts are traded like currency, and humanity withers with every transplanted organ in a world pushed to its absolute limits. Can you expose the Corporation’s hidden agenda, and uncover the purpose behind your creation?

A Cinematic Narrative Journey

REPLACED is a 2.5D cinematic adventure wrapped in a dark, cyberpunk thriller. Human/AI hybrid Reach grapples with unprecedented instinct and emotion as the city’s hidden power structures gradually come to light. This is a single-player story focused on humanity, identity, and the price of control, told through morally complex characters in a world where every pixel tells a story.

Immersive, High-Stakes 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.

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, inescapable atmosphere that pulls you into a timeline where the future was broken before it even began.
