Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers is the follow-up to 2019’s Arcade Spirits, a visual novel of love and pixels, in which you seek friendship and romance while working in an arcade. Now the tables are turned, as you seek friendship and romance while PLAYING in an arcade!

## About This Game
In the distant future year 20XX, an alternate timeline where arcades never
went away… you’re an aspiring gamer searching for esports glory on the Fist
of Discomfort 2 Pro Tour. Seeking a partner to play with, you join a team of
players who hang out at Good Clean Fun, a combination pizzeria / laundromat /
arcade. It’s up to you to rally the team, learning more about who they are and
how best to support their dreams along the way. Defeat rivals, conquer
tournaments, build relationships, and uncover a strange arcade conspiracy as
your team walks the road to victory!

With these features you know and love from Arcade Spirits:
* Six new characters to befriend and romance, as well as a few return appearances by series favorites.
* Character art by Molly Nemecek and pulsating synthwave tunes by Greg Mirles!
* Measure your personality using Iris, your handy virtual assistant. You can be Kindly, Steady, Quirky, Gutsy, or Flexibly!
* Date anyone you like regardless of your pronouns, or focus entirely on building friendships.

And NEW features to the series:
* Import your decisions from Arcade Spirits, and reshape the world of 20XX based on the choices you’ve made! If you haven’t played the original game, that’s fine – this works just as well as a standalone experience and will adapt itself to be a great fresh start.
* A massively expanded character creator – choose body type, hairstyles, accessories, clothing, and more. Your custom character now appears on screen during the whole game!
* Design your own rival! Using the full power of the character creator, craft the one who will stand in your way. Or will perhaps love bloom between these two enemies…?
* Take on the world in Fist of Discomfort 2, a strategy minigame. Your victory or defeat changes the path of your story without ending it! (Minigame is skippable.)
* Rebalanced personality choices, with more variety and more opportunities to talk to every character.
