Arcade Spirits

Arcade Spirits is set in an alternate history where the video game crash of 1983 never occurred, and arcades continued to thrive. Players control a customizable character, who can be either female, male, or non-binary, with the default name of Ari Cader. Ari shares a home with their roommate, Juniper, who encourages them to look for a new job using a phone app called IRIS. This app has an artificial intelligence named Iris, who helps Ari apply for a job at an arcade called the Funplex as a floor manager. She is hired by an elderly woman named Francine, who hires them due to their experience with working as a lifeguard, which she deems suitable experience for working in a high-stress environment. While working at the Funplex, Ari meets a number of people, most of whom work at the Funplex, and may choose to participate in romantic relationships with certain characters. Ari may pursue characters romantically regardless of any genders involved.
Throughout the game, Ari goes on jobs with both employees of the Funplex as well as regulars in order to help out the Funplex in various ways.
