Indie developer Out of the Blue Games has debuted its newest game, American Arcadia, via a live announcement and trailer at Summer Game Fest.

The game is set in the utopian city of Arcadia, described as a “43 square mile metropolis where each and every citizen enjoys a life of luxury and comfort.” But there’s one catch: Every last one of those citizens are being monitored 24/7 and broadcast live for the all world to see. Worse, citizens who become unpopular must run for their lives.

“Sometimes a perfect life is nothing more than a perfect lie,” reads the game’s tagline.

The 2.5D platformer takes players on an adventure, living the life of protagonist Trevor Hills, an Arcadian citizen who loses social capital and must move from place to place without being apprehended. The game appears to make use of stealth elements, and, according to the trailer, is “coming soon to console and PC.”
