About 198X
198X is a story about Kid, a teenager living in Suburbia, just outside the City, sometime in 198X. Caught between the limits of youth and the obligations of adulthood, Kid discovers the local arcade and finds new worlds and meaning in video games.
Each visit to the arcade brings a new game to uncover, moves to master and demons to defeat. As Kid grows stronger, the line between the games and reality begins to blur. The estimated play time is 2 hours.
