● REC IN DEVELOPMENT

One cop. No backup. Tokyo, 1985.

A cassette-punk game set in a living Tokyo of 1985, built street by street from Japan's own 3D city data. Walk it, ride its subway, take its lifts and its cars, at any hour, in any weather.

The game

Real Tokyo, restyled

Every street, block and station comes from PLATEAU, the Japanese government's open 3D model of Tokyo, then rebuilt as 1985.

A city that keeps time

A full day and night clock, rain that pools in the gutters, neon that comes on at dusk.

Under the street

Ride the subway between real stations, on a timetable. Take a seat or hold a strap.

Inside the buildings

Call a lift, pick a floor, walk into izakaya, konbini and pachinko parlours.

Every sound made from code

No recordings: rain, trains, crowds and city hum are all generated.

Real Tokyo, 1985

The city is not drawn by hand. It is built by code from PLATEAU, the Japanese government's open 3D model of Tokyo, with real shop data for every building and a laser scan for the rooftops and trees. Street widths stay true so it walks like the real place; then everything is restyled to a 1985 that never quite happened: cassette decks, neon, CRTs, rain.

The game is a work of fiction. Real places built after 1985 are kept and restyled.
