I played a demo for this a few years ago when the game was still in development and enjoyed the concept. I finally got around to checking the full game out since it was in the Itch.io Racial Justice and Equality bundle. I really enjoyed the art style and the writing. Lots of gaming references and parodies. Overall a nice casual play and a feel-good story.

”Love and friendship, in a time of pixels and quarters.”

While Arcade Spirits is no Game of the Year contender, I certainly enjoyed my time with it. It was a chill game with a good story and interesting characters.

i need to play this game again i used to be so obsessed

i liked the entire cast enough to separately beat everyone's route. corny-ass writing at various points and the character creator was complete ass, but pretty fun and heartfelt stories

My first visual novel ever. It is not my genre but at the end I was really invested in the characters and the story so I guess it did its job
