About the Game

CLAIRVOYANCE

Clairvoyance is a 2D tactical martial arts roguelike with an aesthetic inspired by 2000s era flash games and media.

SEIZE YOUR AGENCY

Who are you?

You are a test subject in a world where human life is secondary to scientific progress. You were intended to be trained, studied, and disposed of.

You need to get out.

Hopelessly outnumbered and under-prepared, you have but one advantage: you know their next move before they even think of it. This, they could not have planned for. It's time to live or die as a person.

It's time to express yourself.

REALISTIC COMBAT, SUPERNATURAL POWER

Clairvoyance features a grounded combat system inspired by real sparring. Footwork affects attack timing. Rolling with a punch can reduce damage. Different strikes have unique damage, reach, and risk.

This level of detail would be overwhelming in a traditional brawler. But in Clairvoyance, you're given foresight: a brief glimpse of where attacks will land before they happen. Reaction speed becomes secondary to positioning, precision, and timing.

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT

Forget rigid animations and simplistic hitboxes. In Clairvoyance, you're in control:

  • Tight hitboxes on every limb

  • Fully independent head movement

  • Mid-attack micro-positioning

Combined, you can bob and weave around attacks like never before while simultaneously preparing your counterattack.

NATURALLY FLOWING ATTACKS

Every move has a starting and an ending stance. With this physical logic for combo creation and execution, make use of the natural levels of "friction" in using one move after another.

INSPIRED FIGHTING STYLES

You can choose between a variety of fighting styles, each with unique movesets and passives inspired by their real life combat philosophies. The style you choose will define your approach to every fight.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

-Highly customizable movesets

-Multiple weapon types

-Multiple characters, all with unique stats

-Powerful upgrades and items
