Sanfall Interactive has posted that their critical success, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is also a commercial one, with 500k copies sold on its first day.
In a post on social media, Sandfall Interactive has celebrated a milestone for their critical smash, Expedition 33. The game released at 3 am on Thursday, April 24th, and after just over a day has recorded over 500k copies sold. It’s mighty impressive, given the narrative that the Oblivion Remaster would crush it under its thumb like a tiny wittle ant.
We reviewed the game at embargo, stating:
The city of Lumiere was sent to the sea 76 years ago in an event known as the Fracture. In the distance on the main continent is a Monolith. Every year, The Paintress waves her hand and paints a new number onto it. All of that age are erased from existence in an event known as the Gommage. As Gustave, a member of Expedition 33, your goal is to stop the Paintress from ever painting death again. To say more would spoil one of my favorite stories, not just in video games but for any medium of entertainment. Sandfall Interactive’s debut title is a triumph.
Gustave and dozens of others are part of Expedition 33, a (so far) fruitless attempt to stop the Paintress by venturing to the mainland. Lumiere was cast into the sea in “Year 100” when an event known as the Fracture split the land asunder. The Monolith was raised and the number 100 painted on it. Every year since an Expedition has gone out to try and stop the Paintress and has failed.
Bravo ! I played it only à few hors but it’s à wonderfull games. Congrats to the french team
