Evaluation

Pixel Ripped 1989 launched on July 31, 2018 as a complete, self-contained VR adventure game. Shortly after release, the developer shipped a free Halloween bonus level on October 26, 2018, and a small bug-fix/polish patch on August 18, 2018. The only DLC ever released is the game's original soundtrack, which dropped on September 11, 2020 — a cosmetic/media release, not a content expansion. There is no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer communication suggesting additional game content was ever planned. The last substantive developer post about the game itself was the Halloween bonus level in October 2018. Since then, the developer has only posted sales notices, community giveaways, and the soundtrack release. The game launched as a finished, story-complete experience and has received no major content expansions. All evidence points to the game being complete as of the Halloween bonus level in October 2018.

About this game

Pixel Ripped 1989 is a wacky multi-dimensional homage to the early days of gaming. The player embarks on a journey into the screen of a classic videogame and beyond. Set in the era of portable 8-bit consoles, this game-within- a-game follows the adventures of Dot, an in-game character who sees her world torn apart by the Cyblin Lord, a villain able to break through the video game screen and invade the real world. In the game, the player inhabits Nicola, a second-grade student who must help Dot save both realities from this menace by facing challenges in the retrogaming 2D world, all while distracting the cranky teacher and escaping from the furious headmaster in her own 3D world.
