Guillaume Broche shares vision for new Sandfall Interactive title Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Guillaume Broche, creative director of Sandfall Interactive, said the studio will not chase commercial success with its upcoming game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He emphasized that the team will simply make the kind of game they love, adding, “It doesn’t matter to me if it flops,” and that staying small and avoiding market trends keeps development healthy.

Broche also identified the Xbox 360 JRPG Lost Odyssey as a major inspiration, describing it as a “spiritual predecessor” to Expedition 33. He praised Lost Odyssey’s story, turn‑based combat and emotional impact, noting that the new title aims to evoke a similar experience while updating the style for modern players.
