The indie parkour game from one of the French brothers behind 2024’s best FPS is coming out in just two weeks
Vholume, an indie first-person parkour adventure, is set to launch on August 21. The game is developed by one of the French brothers responsible for what critics dubbed 2024’s best FPS. Unlike conventional parkour games that typically feature high-energy soundtracks, Vholume takes a distinctly different approach with atmospheric, melancholic synths complemented by ambient sound design featuring footsteps and grunts of exertion.
The game has been marketed as a “melancholic first-person parkour adventure,” positioning itself as a moodier alternative to established titles like Mirror’s Edge. According to available information, Vholume features exploration of overgrown, brutalist environments that create a contemplative atmosphere. The game also includes multiplayer functionality, though specific details about the multiplayer implementation were not provided in the available excerpt.
A new trailer released last month provided players with a closer look at the game’s visual style and gameplay mechanics. The title appears to appeal to fans of parkour-focused games and atmospheric experiences, drawing comparisons to titles like Hot Lava and establishing itself within communities interested in movement-based gameplay and environmental navigation. The game will be available on Steam at launch.
