Alix is a 2D adventure game inspired by classic Zelda-like games, with a retro pixel art style.
You play as Romain, a teenager who wakes up after a strange nightmare to discover that his little sister, Alix, has mysteriously disappeared, along with the island's animals. His journey will take him to the forgotten islands of the Auralia archipelago, a world filled with secrets, ancient legends, and mysterious creatures. He will have to use the abilities of the guardian animals, which are much more than companions: they are the true heroes of the adventure. The player can embody these creatures, each endowed with unique powers, to explore the archipelago, solve puzzles, and fight the forces of evil. Without them, progress is impossible: they are at the heart of the gaming experience.
Throughout your adventure, you will have to:
Discover and take control of the guardian animals, each endowed with special abilities (jumping, fire, crossing forbidden areas, etc.);
Explore diverse islands with unique environments, filled with secrets and hidden areas;
Solve environmental puzzles and activate ancient mechanisms to progress;
Confront the forces of evil in dynamic real-time combat;
Collect Guardian Diamonds, keys to a forgotten power and essential to saving the archipelago;
Chat with endearing characters and uncover the past of the Guardians... and your own family.
Features:
Accessible and progressive gameplay, combining action, exploration, and puzzles;
16x16 pixel art full of charm and nostalgia;
A touching story blending mystery, adventure, and magic;
An immersive and captivating soundtrack.
Alix is a tribute to 90s adventure games, while adding a personal touch thanks to its original mechanics centered on the control of guardian animals.
