You can now play Even in Arcadia on itch.io! https://phoebeshalloway.itch.io/arcadia

Trailer:

An experiential narrative game about people, plants and interplanetary capitalism.

In a distant future in which capitalism and consumerism have continued to run rampant, corporations have replaced all government, and planet Earth has long been relegated to legend, society constantly moves to new planets and throws away the old ones like last year’s model of smartphone. You are a guest at the launch party for the most recently developed planet: Arcadia. The party takes place at the planet’s premiere attraction, the Arcadia Botanical Gardens. As a guest, you may wander the Gardens’ various rooms and eavesdrop on the other distinguished guests whose stories and dramas play out in a repeating cycle over the course of the evening.

It was also my Media Studies senior thesis at Vassar College last year! :)
