REPLACED is a 2.5D sci-fi retro-futuristic action platformer where you play as R.E.A.C.H. - an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body against its own will. REPLACED combines cinematic platforming, pixel art and free-flow action combat with a deep, engaging dystopian story set in an alternative 1980’s.

Over the past year Sad Cat has completely transitioned to a custom rendering solution. This pushes the fidelity of Replaced’s hybrid pixel-art style even further, making it easier to achieve visual and performance goals. For example, the team can now achieve more dynamic weather effects, more natural lighting, and ultimately more convincing materials.

 

Beyond visuals, Sad Cat has been perfecting the combat and platforming to make for an exceptionally smooth gameplay experience. Hundreds of animations have been added to the game so the developers can ensure the characters always feel alive on your journey through alternate ‘80s America.

 

All these complex assets come together like a pixel-art movie, achieved using handcrafted camera direction present throughout the whole game.

It's true. Still waiting on The Last Night but Anno: Mutationem was great (and the Shadowrun trilogy, also excellent). I'm all in on trying this.

 

I've heard the developer of The Last Night regularly posts updates on their Discord sounds like it's coming along well.

He does but man has it been a real long time. I know the game was basically shelved for a few years as they changed publishers but c'mon now.

 

I love me some pixel art but with that high of quality it takes a lot of time.
