Halcyon

Travel through time to regain lost limbs. Orphée, a talented inventor and magic practitioner, builds a pocket watch that grants her passage through time. After a near-fatal accident leaves Orphée without her heart, eye and arm, she must traverse time and space to battle the foes who hold them.  Halcyon is a 2D action-adventure set across various times and spaces. Explore cities of steam, luminescent caves and wormholes saturated with magic; battle distinct bosses and interact with environments to uncover past lives and motivations.  Game features • Side-scrolling action, with our own sketch-like visuals. • A bullet-hell boss rush steampunk fantasy. • Meticulously tuned 2D controls. Master Orphee’s projectile magic (charge and shoot!) and addictive move set.  • Make your way to the game’s ‘hub’, a wormhole that allows Orphee to travel across time and space. • Choose your path! The wormhole allows you the choice of which areas to explore first.  • Find interactables spread throughout the environments. Orphée will come across journal entries, observational logs and environmental markers. Each one describes motivations, Orphée’s past, and the uniqueness of each area.  • Fight four distinct bosses, each with their own combat behaviour and attack patterns.  • Captivating hand-drawn artwork, including vivid parallaxes that give depth to each timeline Orphée travels to. • A fantastic upbeat original soundtrack. • Help Orphée regain her limbs and finish the journey she began years ago!
