With the unanticipated delay into 2023, its easy to lose track of any updates onReplaced.
What is Replaced?
Replacedis an upcoming 2.5-dimensionalsci-fi cyberpunk-styleaction platformer game currently in development by Sad Cat Studios.
Regardless,Replacedrepresents a fictional take based on an alternative, reimagined 1980s era.
The main protagonist, R.E.A.C.H., a half-human, half-AI character, is at the center of the plot.

It wont be easy.
An atomic test that went wrong led to massive deaths and left a city in chaos in its wake.
Therein lies dystopia in every shape and form.

Mysteries lie in wait, some tougher to get past than others.
