Here is an overview of the game, via Thunderful Games:
In an alternative 1980s version of America, the game titled “REPLACED” unfolds. It offers dynamic action combat and a rich, dark narrative set in Phoenix-City. You assume the role of R.E.A.C.H., an AI forced into a human body, grappling with human existence. In this world, lawlessness is rampant due to the long-term effects of a disastrous nuclear explosion. Society is marred by corruption and greed, where those in power treat humans and their organs as mere commodities.
The game centers around a solitary player’s journey, blending cinematic platforming with pixel art and free-flow action combat.
