Half of France’s premier FPS sibling duo just put out the most exhilarating parkour game I’ve ever played, and it’s only $8
Vholume is a parkour-focused game developed by one half of a French duo previously known for first-person shooter games. Priced at $8, the game eschews traditional shooter mechanics to concentrate entirely on movement and exploration. The title prioritizes player freedom by eliminating waypoints and artificial barriers, instead employing naturalistic level design that encourages experimentation. While the game provides an intuitive tutorial pathway demonstrating the intended route, players are immediately able to deviate and explore alternative paths. The design philosophy centers on rewarding creative player movement rather than funneling players through predetermined corridors. The game was featured in PC Gamer’s “Weird Weekend” column, a recurring feature that highlights distinctive and unusual PC gaming experiences.
