It’s hard to believe but after many, many, many delays, Replaced is finally ours to enjoy. The action-platformer set in an alternative cyberpunk dystopian 1980s America sees the story of Warren and R.E.A.C.H.. The aforementioned R.E.A.C.H. being an artificial intelligence that has unwittingly been swapped into Warren’s body. Now, trying to outrun lots of folk who want to kill him, R.E.A.C.H. must return to the lab where it all happened to try undo what has been done.

I add this purely because I missed this entirely for a long time! To the right of the leaflet guy, you’ll find a technician you need to round up. He says he needs to pay his mortgage and then he’ll join but he’s got a long wait. Reach says he thinks he could hack and needs to follow the yellow cable.
