Kemco’s latest visual novel, Archetype Arcadia, has arrived on Google Play, inviting you into a dark, immersive world shaped by memories, despair, and the fight for survival. Set in a future plagued by Peccatomania, a mysterious disease that collapses societies, this visual novel features a deeply woven story centred on sacrifice, betrayal, and hope.

You step into the role of Rust, a determined individual who ventures into the realm of Archetype Arcadia to save his sister Kristin. Peccatomania, also called the Original Sindrome, threatens its victims with nightmares, hallucinations, and eventual loss of control, turning them into dangers to others. Archetype Arcadia is the only safe haven that remains.

What exactly is Archetype Arcadia? It is an online game that Rust must use to put an end to this devastating threat. Only by logging in and playing is it possible to suppress Peccatomania’s progression. You must be very careful, though. If you lose, then you lose all rationality in the real world. Make every move with utmost care.

The combat system utilises Memory Cards, which are essentially fragments of a person’s memories that have been turned into cards. Based on these remembrances, Avatars are created, which are capable of fighting in battle. Damage to a card means that the associated memory is lost and if you break all Memory Cards, then it’s over for you.

As for the incurable disease itself, Peccatomania is a force that shapes the world. It began spreading a few centuries ago, initially manifesting as nightmares followed by auditory and optical illusions in the daytime. Towards the end stages, sufferers develop immense aggression and harm others. Given the severity of the disease, it wasn’t hard for civilisation to collapse as a result of Peccatomania.

If you're intrigued by the concept, Archetype Arcadia is available on Google Play for $29.99. However, if you're a Play Pass subscriber, you can play it for free.
