In late August, Nathan Grange, Léonard Lemaitre, Niels Tiercelin, and IronEqual announced the release of VHOLUME on PC via Steam. The developers position their project as a melancholic first-person parkour adventure.
The events of VHOLUME unfold in the ruined capital of Afro-Eurasia, under the control of the almighty Ministry. According to the story, Robert must embark on a "bureaucratic mission" to restore his family's annulled food stamps.
Gameplay focuses on movement — the player will jump, run, climb, and slide to progress through a dystopian brutalist city towards their goal. You can play alone or join friends in multiplayer to complete levels together.
There is a competitive element: you can watch "ghosts" of other players' runs and share your own race results.
The VHOLUME page on Steam is available at the following link. There is a demo version, and a 10% release discount will be active until August 28. The developers noted that the game already supports community-created levels through the "Steam Workshop".
