Developers of Replaced Sad Cat have announced that they have received $5 million funding from venture firm GEM Capital to support development of Replaced and beyond.
Replaced (stylized as REPLACED) is a cinematic action platformer set in a dystopian retro-futuristic vision of ‘80s America. The game combines spectacular and fierce combat encounters featuring old-school hand-painted pixel art enhanced with modern visual effects. Players take on the role of REACH, an AI trapped within a mortal human body against its will, fighting for survival against all odds. Replaced promises a thrilling story set in a variety of beautiful locations both inside and outside of Phoenix City, as well as a fast and ruthless combat system.
The game was first shown off during Microsoft’s Xbox Showcase at E3 in 2021. We haven’t seen or heard anything about the game since December 2022 when the game was shown off during the 2022 Gaming Awards.
