Gameplay and Development
Led by Patrice Désilets—who previously worked on the Assassin's Creed series at Ubisoft—Panache Digital Games' project centers on a dual-protagonist system and a unique take on witches and magic. New gameplay footage highlights a day and night cycle where protagonist Noa investigates cramped Amsterdam streets during the day to identify "originals" wielding magic, before confronting them in nighttime boss battles.
Early access will grant players the ability to experience this gameplay loop and test out the controls. Purchasing the early access release grants buyers the full game when it reaches its official 1.0 launch.
