OXiAB Game Studio is working on a new indie effort for Wii U titled “Canvaleon”. The project is a stealth-platformer in which players use the environment and skills to deal with enemies and threats.
“Camouflages” is the big concept here. This function lets players mimic elements of scenery to hide from enemies. The higher your “Camo Percentage”, the lesser chance there is that enemies will detect you. Camouflages can be obtained at a store or by painting them with a paint tool. Both require the color butterflies collectible.
Screenshots plus a story over for Canvaleon are posted below.
Canvas is the only white chameleon in a very particular chameleon village. Since he lacks the ability to change color by himself, he has been made fun of since birth. Also, his natural color stands out heavily compared with the environment, but he has managed to survive until now, thanks to the help of his only friend, Doodle.
Doodle (or “Dood” to his friends), being an artist himself, came up with the idea of using Canvas’ white body as a literal canvas for his paintings, making up Canvas’ lack of natural camouflage to some extent.
But, to do so, Dood needs a lot of color butterflies, from which he extracts the pigments needed to create the camouflage for Canvas.
So our adventure begins, with Canvas and Dood seeking the miraculous color butterflies in some ancient ruins near the village.
But the peaceful lives of the chameleons will change soon…
