Set in an alternate past where advanced science has given AI the ability to control most tasks, we take on the role of REACH after a catastrophe that results in being forced to the edges of Phoenix City. In an effort to undo what happened, REACH must fight through numerous enemies and find out just how twisted things have become in Thunderful Games’ REPLACED.
REPLACED is a cinematic sci-fi action platformer set in a gritty alternate 1980s, blending pixel-art visuals with modern lighting to create a striking dystopian world. You play as R.E.A.C.H., an artificial intelligence trapped inside a human body, navigating a society ruled by corruption, corporate control, and moral decay. As you explore the sprawling city of Phoenix, you’ll uncover a layered narrative filled with mystery, identity, and the struggle to survive in a world where humanity itself is in question.
Gameplay combines fluid platforming, environmental exploration, and intense real-time combat, where every encounter feels deliberate and impactful. Players must master precise movement, well-timed attacks, and situational awareness to overcome enemies and obstacles. With its cinematic presentation, atmospheric storytelling, and stylish action, REPLACED delivers a unique blend of narrative depth and gameplay intensity in a visually stunning cyberpunk world.
