Prism.

Prism is a monochrome platformer made by five EPITA students. The world has lost every colour, you carry the only lantern, and the fragments of colour you find are what bring the landscapes back to life and open the way forward.

Storyline

A lifeless universe

Imagine a world where every hue has faded: a universe without colours, textures, or flavours. The landscapes are dull and the characters flat. Deprived of any nuance, this dark place leaves only one quest behind: recover the lost colours.

The black and white nightmare

This world, robbed of joy, is a true nightmare. Only calculated jumps, narrow platforms, and enemies pace your progress. You move under an inky sky, lit by your single lantern with its opaque panes, sweeping the darkness away with a faint glow.

The spark of colour

A fragment of red, a glimmer of green, a glow of cyan: this is the promise of renewal. These touches of colour bring warmth and hope, revealing hidden paths and unsuspected resources.

An epic quest

To restore chromatic harmony you have to overcome challenges and puzzles: fight monochrome guardians, solve ethereal puzzles, and outwit clever traps. Each trial sharpens your observation and your creativity.

The vision of Prism

Prism is more than a game: it is an experience where every colour matters. Through its filters, light and hue become your allies; colour is no longer decoration but what guides, informs, and transforms every corner of the world.
