Our take on Vapour
The description emphasizes a mix of horror, shooting, puzzles, and platforming, but gives little detail about how those parts connect across the game. The story establishes Charles’s goal, while the listed mechanics leave the shape and progression of the journey fairly broad.
What is Vapour?
Vapour is an 18+ horror game that combines shooter action with puzzles and platforming.
Players take the role of Charles, a warlock held captive and tortured by a cult, who uses his remaining strength to escape total damnation after execution. Trapped between Purgatory and Hell with diminished powers, he battles demons, confronts his past, and seeks a way back to Earth for revenge. Combat uses spells, while interactive puzzles and non-linear levels shape the journey. Exploration, platforming challenges, secrets, and horror encounters are also part of the game.
