Description


In a distant future in which capitalism and consumerism have continued to run rampant, corporations have replaced all government, and planet Earth has long been relegated to legend, society constantly moves to new planets and throws away the old ones like last year's model of smartphone.

You are a guest at the launch party for the most recently developed planet: Arcadia. Over the course of the evening you will wander the Arcadia Botanical Gardens' various rooms and eavesdrop on the other guests whose stories and dramas play out in a repeating cycle.


This game was originally created as my senior thesis in the Media Studies department at Vassar College. You can learn more about the theory behind Even in Arcadia in my thesis's written component, downloadable below.
