Presentation

First game developed by Maël Boucault, 19, a student in video game design.

After nearly a thousand hours of work, I'm proud to present the first version of this project, with updates planned to enrich the experience and add new features.

For a long time, I've found the world around me boring, and playing video games was an escape, but today my aim is to create worlds that entertain and amuse me. With this in mind, I founded AtomicPunch Studio to make this dream a reality and launch my very first game.

Quick Description

Guided and created by the gods, you are the hero the people need.

Your mission: eradicate the demons that threaten this world and help the villagers rebuild their communities. You'll need to explore the lands of Valheron, recruit allies and form a fighting team to confront the forces of darkness.

In the kingdom of Valheron, a fearsome swordsman named Kwang arrives in a village on the brink of destruction. A demonic rift has opened, releasing an ancient demon named Sevarog, who threatens to engulf the entire world in a wave of darkness. On his journey, Kwang befriends two unlikely allies: Gideon, a powerful sorcerer, and Crunch, a robot with mysterious origins. Together, they must join forces to save Valheron.

GamePlay:

  The player can alternate between Kwang, Gideon and Crunch, with each character having unique abilities. Kwang is a master swordsman, fast and effective in close combat. Gideon is a master of ranged magic, able to manipulate the elements. Crunch is a heavyweight fighter, thanks to his brute strength, and excels at being a heavyweight fighter.

• Dynamic combat system:

  Real-time combat with the possibility of creating combos between characters. Kwang can launch powerful attacks, while Gideon and Crunch support with spells and heavy strikes.

• Exploration and puzzle-solving:

  Ancient ruins and temples abound with mysteries to be solved. Each hero is essential to progress: Crunch to break through obstacles, Gideon to manipulate objects from a distance, and Kwang to unlock hidden passages with his combat techniques.

• Progress through friendships:

  The relationships between Kwang, Gideon and Crunch develop as the story progresses. Interactive dialogues strengthen their bonds, influencing certain abilities or unlocking side quests.

Different Locations

• Telmara:
  Telmara is a small village on the borders of the kingdom of Valheron, nestled in the heart of a once prosperous valley now ravaged by darkness. Once renowned for its peaceful nature, flourishing crops and trade with other parts of the kingdom, Telmara has been plagued by fear ever since the demonic rift was opened. The village has become a symbol of resistance to the demonic invasion. This village on the brink of ruin is the first line of defense against the darkness, and also the place where Kwang, Gideon and Crunch begin their journey to save Valheron.
  
  

• Arghona Iron Mines:
  The Arghona Iron Mines, once a symbol of power and prosperity, are now a dark, dangerous place corrupted by ancient, evil forces. Located in the rugged mountains to the east of the kingdom of Valheron, the mines were once a major economic center, supplying not only iron, but also rare and precious metals such as silver and gold, used in the manufacture of weapons and enchanted objects.

  However, these mines hide a dark past. What was once a blessing for the kingdom has become a hotbed of corruption and demonic curses since explorers discovered a forbidden relic in its depths, opening a rift to a hellish dimension.

  The Iron Mines of Arghona are an iconic location in the Valheron universe, a place both frightening and fascinating, where ancient technology and demonic magic collide, and where the heroes must brave colossal forces to save the world.

• The Canyon of Tears:
  The Canyon of Tears is an immense, steep and sinister ravine that stretches between the Iron Mines of Arghona and the Forest of Murmurs, home to the Temple of Ruin. This is an ancient valley which, according to local legends, was carved out by the weeping of the gods after a cataclysmic war between ancient peoples and demonic forces. Since then, the region has been marked by an aura of sadness and desolation.

  The Canyon of Tears takes its name from the salty rivers that flow at the bottom of the ravine, formed from the tears shed by inhabitants and gods alike, mourning the fall of an ancient empire. This area was once a sacred place, where the peoples of Valheron came to pray for the gods' clemency after battles. But over time, the energy that permeated the canyon darkened, and demons unleashed by the Temple of Ruin rift began to wreak havoc.

  Today, the canyon is a barren wasteland, still echoing with the wails and cries of lost souls. An obligatory passage for travelers who dare to venture between the two cursed places, it is also one of the most dangerous in Valheron.

• The Temple of Ruin:
  The Temple of Ruin is a mysterious and ancient place, lost in the heart of Valheron's rugged mountains. Once a sacred sanctuary dedicated to the kingdom's patron gods, over the centuries it has become a bastion of darkness and curses, forgotten by time. Today, this temple is at the center of the tragic events shaking Valheron, for it shelters the demonic rift through which the demon Sevarog began to invade the world.

  The temple was built when the first kings of Valheron sought to seal off dangerous mystical forces. Legend has it that the gods themselves helped erect this structure to imprison otherworldly entities too powerful to be destroyed. Orders of monks and priests once lived here, guarding the magical seals that held back these dark powers.

  Over the centuries, however, the temple was abandoned after a war between neighboring kingdoms. The seals that kept the rift under control weakened, until Sevarog, a powerful demon imprisoned in the temple's depths, managed to break them, bringing about the current catastrophe.
