A Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 trailer from 5 years ago resurfaced, and it's a delightfully bare-bones look at the primordial soup that spawned the full game

A screenshot of "We Lost", a super early prototype of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from 5 years ago.

It's no secret that part of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's team was cobbled together by director Guillaume Broche on websites like Soundcloud and Reddit. It's a fact that's charming, given how excellent the end result was, but it also means the game's early development is forever enshrined on the good ol' information highway.

Five years ago, Broche posted to r/RecordThisForFree when the game was in its infancy, and he was attempting to put together a solid concept demo and trailer for it.
