A new French development studio is working on a Wii-exclusive adventure game, titled Capucine, and below are the first screen of the intriguing new quest.
"Capucine is an exploration / adventure game, formulated as a tale and based on shadow and light opposition," explains the official site. You play as a girl who has the power to bring life to her surroundings using a beam of light from her hand.
Set in a fantasy world where everything is dead, her task is to revive the world around her by giving life to her surroundings. The interesting twist is that shadows generated by the light beam are the enemies, forcing you to think strategically about how you use your light.
The official site says: "If [the player] doesn't pay attention, the player may put the main character in danger." This will pose all sorts of puzzles and riddles, apparently.
We won't even pretend to understand but it sounds like it could be cool - unique at the very least. And it looks quite nice too.
First screens are below and you can watch a trailer here. No release date has been announced.
The graphics look a little basic, although as its the first time its been seen its probably an early build. Definitely looks interesting, if I was designing this though, I'd add a few more characters because it looks a little lonely.
Also how awesome would it look if it went in a kind of Tim Burton direction, the music on the trailer is already there, it'd give the game a very unique identity.
