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!
