Vholume — melancholic first‑person parkour game launches Aug. 21, demo on Steam

An indie first‑person parkour game called Vholume will release on August 21 and a trailer released last month previews its environments and multiplayer. The game is developed by a three‑person team that includes one of the Lemaitre brothers behind the 2024 FPS Straftat. Vholume presents overgrown brutalist levels, a dystopian ration‑ticket story, atmospheric synth music, and multiplayer modes for real‑time races and ghost runs. A playable demo is available now on the game's Steam page, giving players an early look at its mechanics and levels.
