Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 marks the debut title from developer Sandfall Interactive, presenting a turn-based RPG with integrated real-time mechanics. Players lead the members of Expedition 33 on a critical quest to destroy the Paintress, a figure who annually paints a cursed number, erasing all individuals past that age. Explore a fantasy world drawing inspiration from Belle Époque France, navigating breathtaking landscapes and confronting surreal adversaries in a desperate mission against a ticking clock.

Combat evolves the turn-based RPG structure by demanding real-time player input, allowing participants to dodge, parry, and counter enemy attacks actively. Master attack rhythms to chain combos and utilize a free aim system to target enemy weak points. Players craft unique builds for their Expeditioners through gear, stats, skills, and character synergies. Exploration across locations like the Island of Visages and the Forgotten Battlefield reveals secrets and hidden quests, with the ability to recruit special companions that unlock new travel methods and access secret areas on the World Map. The game is rendered in Unreal Engine 5.
