Arcade Paradise is a business simulation video game developed by Nosebleed Interactive and published by Wired Productions.

Set in the 1990s,[1] the player controls Ashley Goldman, whose father, Gerald, is the owner of King Wash laundromat.

As Gerald does not approve or believe in this potential, Ashley sets out to prove him wrong by building out the arcade space in secret with the help of their sister Lesley and others.

[2] Arcade Paradise is an adventure game that combines elements of business simulation with occasional quick time events.

[4] It was first released August 11, 2022, for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S,[5][6] followed by Amazon Luna and Google Stadia on October 13, 2022,[7][8] Newcastle upon Tyne-based developer Nosebleed Interactive purposely chose a boring job for the player character to further the draw to arcade games.

"[27] Shaun Musgrave of TouchArcade noted that there were lots of small details that helped to envelop players into the world narrative.

"[28] In a contrasting view, and speaking specifically of the narrative, Nintendo Life's Lowell Bell said that the element of being centered on "a lazy young adult proving to their father they can run a successful business will never really grip you".

[19] Sammy Barker of Push Square noted that "the sheer density of content alone means you’ll never get bored.
