Duskfade

Duskfade is a 3D action-platformer developed by Weird Beluga, the Spanish studio behind Clid the Snail, and published by Fireshine Games. The clockpunk universe - gears, clocks, and medieval steampunk aesthetics - is at the heart of the game's visual identity, with a pictorial style that clearly stands out in the current platformer landscape.

Players take on the role of Zirian, accompanied by his faithful mount Cuckoo, roaming a world plunged into eternal night. The goal: save his sister, imprisoned in a Clock Tower, and uncover the secrets of the Clockwork Masters. The gameplay blends precision platforming, sword combat, and acrobatic movement (grinding, grappling hook, jumping) across varied environments - ethereal forests, underwater realms.

The clear reference to the PS2 era positions Duskfade as a direct response to the nostalgia for 3D platformers of the 2000s, aimed at adult players who grew up with Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank.
