Story

In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 we arrive in a fantasy land full of surrealistic opponents. A deadly deity called the Paintress watches over the land. It awakens once a year and paints a number on its Monolith. Everyone who is at this age turns into dust and dies.

The plot of the game focuses on an expedition, the goal of which is to defeat the Paintress and stop the cycle before it consumes the generation of 33-year-olds. The expedition includes engineer Gustav, traveler Maelle, sorceress Lune, and warrior Sciel. During the journey, other companions and friendly legendary creatures join them.

Gameplay

We form and develop a team consisting of six characters, improving their statistics, skills and equipment. Depending on the style of play, we can create unique configurations, as each hero specializes in a different way of fighting.

Exploring diverse locations, we discover secrets of this strange world, such as mysterious places and hidden quests.

Turn-based combat has been interwoven with real-time skill based elements. The battles involve creation of defensive combinations, consisting of dodges and parries, as well as launching counters and series of attacks, during which we have to manually aim at the weak spots of enemies.

Engine

The game is powered by Unreal Engine 5 technology.
