Chiaroscuro is a 2D adventure platformer with metroidvania elements. Explore a world that has fallen into darkness and discover the Lights to illuminate your forgotten past.
INVESTIGATE A MEMORY LOSS CATASTROPHE
In a world where 95% of the population has suddenly forgotten pieces of their past, take the role of Rose, a mysterious amnesiac and go on an adventure to seek out the Lights: magical objects that have been rumored to restore the memories of those who find them.
CHALLENGE DANGEROUS THREATS
Rose is not the only one seeking out these powerful Lights. Using quick and responsive combat, battle your way through dangerous situations by swinging your trusty thorn and casting a plethora of elemental spells.
EXPLORE AN INTERCONNECTED WORLD
Throughout your adventure in search of the Lights, you will gain a wide range of abilities that will assist you in furthering your quest through over a dozen unique environments, in addition to backtracking through locations you’ve already explored using tight and satisfying platforming.
FEATURES
Before giving the demo a go, please read and consider the following:
This version is an alpha version from August 2020 that showcases the general feel of the game, not the final product.
Do note this alpha demo does not completely support resolution scaling and the recommended resolution for this alpha demo is 1920x1080. I plan on updating the demo once I get around to implementing accurate game scaling options.
