Hello from the Hideout! Lets talk Cap City and Valah!

Hello from the Hideout! Valah and the gang are spending most of our time here now that Cap City has been taken over by B Corp and its smelly CEO, Mr. Buff. This is just temporary, until we stop Mr. Buff from spreading his mind-control influence on the rest of the citizens.

[h2]Cap City[/h2]



Cap City used to be a busy, bright place until B Corp moved in and started playing propaganda on all the screens in the city. Since then, everyone has turned into mindless husks. The draining screens have influenced how they act, what they wear, listen to—everything. It’s turned the city dull and grey with everyone acting the same.

This doesn’t work for us. We’re fighting back.

We’ve figured out that if the citizens of Cap City can’t see the screens, then they can’t be drained by them, and their uniqueness and color will come back. As some of the last holdouts, we must do something before everything that makes this place great is gone. So, we’re taking to the streets—armed with our paint, sweet music, and individual style— to cover up every inch of those screens with rakugaki and take down Mr. Buff and his lackies.

Graffiti is about to save the day... as usual!

Leading the charge is Valah!

Valah has been drawing ever since she read her first manga when she was five years old. Before Buff showed up, life was chill. The hideout what just a place to hang out, practice art, play videogames, and read with good friends. They all have their own ways to show their personality, but Valah’s was through graffiti! Any reason to show off her newest art was exciting.

After seeing the damage that the corporation has been doing to the city and her friends, Valah has made it her mission to fight back! She’s determined to cover every draining screen in the city with art and free the citizens from their dull, mindless lives. Even if that means coming face-to-face with the virtual nightmares that Buff came up with to take him down.

The trick is to NEVER STOP DRAWING! some of us unfortunately stopped for a while but we started again and here we are!


[h2]Traversing the City [/h2]


[h3]Platforming [/h3]
Valah takes to platforms with the help of her graffiti, which lets her jump, glide, and surf through the city quickly. You can see the trails Valah leaves behind as she zooms around and uses the momentum to keep her moving! Not even B Corp’s mechanical robots can stop her once they get a spray of paint to the “face.”

[h3]Graffiti [/h3]
Graffiti is life. It's how Valah shares a piece of herself with the world, and now it’s being used to take Cap City’s citizens out of their mindless shells and back to their lively, former selves. Thankfully, Valah’s got what it takes to cover every draining screen with her art and restore life to the brainwashed residents.

When the boss hears about this… you can bet he won’t be too happy, but we just must inject the corporation with some rakugaki, too.

[h3]Defacer Mode [/h3]

As Valah keeps moving and chaining her jumps, surfs, glides, and melees she’ll eventually enter Defacer Mode. Defacer Mode lets Valah graffiti-surf faster and grants a force field in front of her, which lets her destroy enemies just by colliding with them.

Players also get a 10X multiplier, for those looking to get the highest scores in each level. You’ll need to get into Defacer Mode as fast as possible and keep maintaining it for the best scores and times. We'll show a little more on Defacer Mode really soon with you all!

[h2]What’s next? [/h2]
We’ll have more on gameplay with Valah in an upcoming blog post, and more on customizations, supporting characters and Mr. Buff!
