Paris (France) — Vernepixel Lab announces the release of The Adventures of Emilie in Paris, an independent 2D platformer that pays tribute to 1990s classics while adding its own modern twist. Play as Emilie and traverse a reinvented Paris — from Haussmannian rooftops to the catacombs — with fluid animation, original movement options (rooftop parkour via drainpipes, an umbrella for combat and safe falls), shoot‑’em‑up sections, and a healthy dose of humor.
Designed for precision and readability, the game features a score/best‑score loop, secret passages, adjustable difficulty (from Very Easy to Hard), and an art direction that blends elegance with the “real Paris,” far from clichés.
