About this game

"Set in 20XX, Arcade Spirits follows an alternative timeline where the 1983 video game crash never occurred - after a turbulant work history you are granted employment at the Funplex, a popular arcade, home to a host of unique personalities and customers. Where will this new found employment take you? Who will you meet along the way? Will you find the romance you're seeking?"
