Indie developer L’Atelier has announced a new boss rush action Harmonie. Inspired by watercolor and Chinese ink paintings, the game promises to challenge players with high-paced boss fights while telling a tragic story throughout an emotional journey. Every victory reveals the tragic truth of the world, forcing players to question whether they are restoring balance or destroying paradise.
Events of Harmonie take place after devastating war between Light and Shadow. The victors created a forced utopia known as the Dream, shattering the balance of the world. Players take on the role of Xio, wielding the living brush Astra, and embark on a journey to defeat the Guardians of the Dream.
