Evaluation
The Archetype launched on September 16, 2015 with only Chapter 1 available, but the store description made clear that purchasing the game included all four planned chapters (Childhood, Adolescence, Marriage, and Old Age), to be released every two months. The game progressed through its chapters over the following two years, with Chapter 3 announced for June 2016. In January 2016, the studio announced that lead designer Rafael Barreto had departed to join another company, but new designers were brought on to continue development. On December 6, 2017, the developer posted that the Final Chapter was finished and released, completing the four-chapter story arc promised at launch. That same post mentioned plans to add alternate storylines and different endings, but there has been no follow-up communication of any kind since that date — nearly nine years ago as of June 2026. Given the complete silence since December 2017 and no evidence of any additional content being delivered, those post-launch aspirations were never acted upon. The game's original content commitment of four chapters has been fulfilled.

About this game
Archty Tolomei is a 9 years old boy that lives with his dad. In 2008, his mom left the house with his two sisters and a little baby, only to come back in 2009 asking for forgiveness. During a huge fight, Lisa, one of Archty's sisters, called 911. When they arrived, Archty's father claimed she stormed out again with the children, but Archty had a feeling they were all still in the house.
The Archetype is a psychological-horror where you'll be in control (or not) of Archty's psychological aspects, like Fear, Despair, Anxiety, Sadness, Jealousy, Anger, Aggression, Libido, Envy, Guilt, Depression and Solitude. As you explore the 4 chapters of Archty's life, you'll have to deal with his anxiety disorder and schizophrenia.
The neurosis, psychosis, suicide and homicide meters will go up and down, depending on how the environment and dialogs affect Archty.
Help him deal with his alcoholic abusive father, find out what happened to your mother and sisters and reach the end of this epic
thriller filled with antipsychotics drugs.
