Retro mechanics and technical development of the title 🎮

The game integrates elements of classic platformers and puzzles that require observing the environment. Its graphics engine emulates styles from the 80s and 90s, with pixelated sprites and a limited color palette. Development has focused on smooth controls and interaction with objects. Additionally, it includes support for several languages, broadening its reach without requiring powerful hardware. The estimated duration is around six hours, with multiple paths to solve the puzzles.

A walk through the past with a taste of cheap nostalgia 🕹️

For 2,480 yen, you can tour American history without leaving home or having to pay for gas. The protagonist loses a ring and, instead of checking his pants pockets, decides to enter a dungeon with 80s graphics. If US history is as confusing as a platformer video game, at least here you can restart the level when you get bored of the general culture lessons.
