Photophore - Chapter 1 is an arcade game that oscillates between shooting, brick-breaking and reflection.

An original point proposed by the gameplay is based on the need to manage one or several projectiles.

These projectiles can be used to activate objects, destroy others or inflict damage on enemies. Once launched, the player has no longer control over them: if the projectiles bounce off most of the elements of the scenery, they can also be controlled by numerous elements to be discovered and mastered or... destroyed.

You will therefore have to time, synchronise, aim, shoot and make sure you recover your projectiles to progress and reach the end of each level.

The Demo

This demo provides 9 levels with the first Photophore of the game.

Besides getting the best score, your aim is to find as many fragments of light as possible in the various game levels: the caves.

The caves are in a row and require a minimum number of fragments to enter. And a cave is only accessible if the previous one has been explored till the end.

You control a Photophore that has shards of light that can be used as projectiles to interact with the world. Thes projectiles are essential: make sure you don't lose them, otherwise you won't be able to progress!

This demo presents a selection of Caves with various gameplays.
You can use two saving slots, the third one gives you access to all caves (Free run).

In this demo, you play with only one type of Photophore, which has only one projectile. So, take good care of it!

The Story

This is the story of a world. A world where all light has been swallowed up. A world destroyed and fragmented, annihilated by a fatal omnipotence. Everything could have ended there... But there was one last glimmer of hope. One last glimmer. A last, precious, fragment of light. A spark that will awaken the first Photophore...

This is the story of a new world recomposed. A world recomposed in the form of a challenge, as if a return to normalcy had been a possibility from the very beginning of its alleged destruction. This first Photophore and the luminous fragments scattered throughout the spaces are proof of this.

The photophore is therefore the only element capable of travelling through this world and finding all the fragments of light. This is certainly a futile task. But I assure you it's going to be so cool!
