The world of video games is getting ready to welcome a new innovative proposal with the announcement of Vholume, a first-person platformer that recalls the style of Mirror’s Edge. Developed by a small but talented team of three people, led by Léonard Lemaitre along with Nathan Grange and Niels Tiercelin, Vholume transports us to the dystopian city of Afro-Eurasia, where bureaucracy becomes a formidable enemy.
A Brutalist Game of Aspirations
In this title, players will take on the role of Robert, a character whose goal is to restore his family’s ration ticket. However, the task becomes complicated in the face of a bureaucratic system that turns what should be a simple mission into an odyssey full of obstacles. Through a brutalist architectural environment, Vholume promises a solo narrative-driven gaming experience, setting itself apart from other titles like Straftat, known for its multiplayer focus.
Vholume stands out, moreover, for its elaborate movement system, which includes jumps, slides, and the ability to run on walls, allowing players to explore the environment dynamically. According to the first promotional materials shown on its Steam page, the game offers mechanics that make dodging obstacles and maneuvering at high speed visually spectacular.
Although a release date has not yet been confirmed, it is likely that Vholume will be released sometime in 2026, following the development timeline of previous Lemaitre projects. For those who can’t wait, it is recommended to play Lorn’s Lure, a game that also offers a platforming experience in an evocative environment while waiting for this new challenge. The gaming community will be on the lookout for more news related to this promising title that retains the essence of its creators’ previous works.
