During the Xbox Games Showcase, the young French studio Sandfall Interactive unveiled its very first project, Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33. An ambitious production which seems to want to be inspired by the great classics of JRPGs and action games. Still under development, the title published by Kepler Interactive should see the light of day sometime in 2025 and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Without forgetting the Game Pass from the launch of the game.
Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33 takes us into a world where every year the Painter wakes up. She then paints her cursed number and all the beings of this age disappear in smoke. Tomorrow, when she wakes up, she will go paint 33. This is why Expedition 33 will leave for its last mission and try to eliminate the Painter. So that she can never paint death again and thus save the rest of humanity.
To succeed in reaching the Painter, Gustave and his team will have to retrace the route of dozens of Expeditions that have failed in the past. A road strewn with pitfalls and especially enemies, each more powerful than the other. To overcome this, you will of course have to master the different offensive skills to perfection and also know how to dodge at the right time.
Gustave’s team is fully customizable since it will be possible to modify the statistics of each character as well as their equipment and their skill tree. Finally, even their character can be personalized to offer them specific passive skills. It’s up to you to design the best strategy.
