Sandfall Interactive has landed a gigantic hit with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Speaking of gigantic hits: The damage that is distributed in the role -playing game can accept dizzying heights. A special kind of competition developed on this.
What kind of competition is that? Initially, the development team won a competition internally, which took place before the publication. As Guillaume Broche (CEO) and Nicholas Maxson-Francomb (Art Director) revealed, the developers tried to cause as much damage as possible with one fell swoop (via YouTube).
Thanks to Maelle’s Stendhal Build, it is possible, for example, to cause millions or even billion doors. The attack was so powerful that it was generated after the release.
Players had already managed to break this record one week after the release (via YouTube). But a developer did not give up the fight and developed a friendly rivalry with a player who could also run between anime figures such as Son-Goku and Vegeta.

Players and developers have competition for the highest record
How did the competition go? The VFX Artist from Sandfall Interactive, Leo Paris, was the record holder in the studio and probably disappointed when the players broke his record. He got a duel with another player named Schrodingersba4 on x.
The two reacted again and again with pictures of their greatest damage. The last entry that MeinMMO could find is on May 1, 2025 (via X). On this day, one of the two achieved incredible damage and revealed how he did it.
Who is the current winner? Leo Paris had a hit with 4.3 billion damage. But he did not use Maelle, but sciel. He piled up 99 stacks of fortune appeals with her and was in twilight mode. He had also started the New Game +.
As Paris reveals, it cost him over an hour to prepare this attack. His competitor, with whom he delivered the duel, only had the following words: “Sacred Christ.”
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 would almost have been a completely different game. Originally you should have struggled against zombies and aliens in a steampunk setting. But the investors secured the financial basis why the developers could do what they want: Clair obscur: Expedition 33 would have actually been a completely different game, but the developers should “just do it”
