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.
A steamfantasy platformer bullet-hell boss rush.
The world of Halcyon is one of steam technology rooted in magic and is brought to life in a sketch-like visual artstyle. Cutscenes are hand-drawn and the player character is chibi-fied in gameplay. Backgrounds and boss designs are illustrated in detail.
Throughout Halycon’s environments, Orphée will come across journal entries, observation logs and environmental markers that reveal parts of her past.
Determined to regain what she has lost, Orphée will stop at nothing as she faces four distinct bosses – each featuring their own attack patterns and combat behaviors.
