The Good Old Days is a nostalgic metroidvania-style adventure where every street hides a story, every secret leads to a new discovery, and time itself is the greatest enemy. Set in the rural community of Arostia during the mysterious year 19XX, the game follows Sean, a young boy suddenly thrust into hardship when his father’s debts catch up with him. With his closest friends imprisoned and the clock ticking toward dusk, Sean must find a way to earn enough money to save them, even if it means venturing into the darker corners of town.
The Good Old Days blends exploration, storytelling, and decision-making in a world that feels both familiar and unpredictable. Players can wander through Arostia’s hand-crafted pixel landscapes, uncover hidden paths, and choose their own way to repay the looming debt. Will you gamble your luck, take on odd jobs, uncover buried treasures, or fight your way through dangerous challenges? Every decision matters and every route tells a different story.
The game's retro 16-bit aesthetic captures the warmth of classic adventure games, reimagined with modern lighting, animation, and expressive character design. Sean's journey is about friendship, courage, and the bittersweet passage of youth. Alongside companions like Foodie, Bruce, and Doc, players will face moral choices, side quests, and multiple endings that reveal how far Sean is willing to go to make things right.
Hidden throughout the world are Easter eggs and nods to the golden age of gaming, paying tribute to 1980s coming-of-age adventures while offering a fresh, modern experience for today's players. The blend of heartfelt storytelling, nonlinear gameplay, and nostalgic visuals makes The Good Old Days a love letter to childhood adventures.
