I really enjoyed this game. It consists of five minigames that are meant to be games you'd play in an 80s arcade. The games are all pretty fun and meaty enough to not feel like throwaways. I won't spoil all the games, but my favorite was the Outrun inspired racer. There are cutscenes telling a story of a teenager in between the games. I found the writing and voice acting to be kind of corny and a bit drawn out, but I liked what they were trying to do with the story. The pace of the game is also a slow too. For example, you have to wait for the menu to do its little into thingy where the title fades in on the beat of the song every time you start the game. They're trying to set a vibe which I understand, but it is a minor annoyance. I know a lot of people think pixel art is overdone, but I think this game does it well. The art combined with the music (which I really enjoyed) give off an enjoyable synthwave vibe. It's a little expensive for its length ($10 about 2 hours), but if you find a sale I'd recommend it. There is apparently a second chapter on the way so if you see this review after that comes out, I haven't played it (I plan on it thought).
