The core loop combines jumping, dashing, climbing, sliding, and wall running to reach goals as quickly as possible.
The game launched on Steam for PC on August 22, 2026, at a regular price of 1,000 yen, with a 10% discount to 900 yen until August 29. Within two days, it collected over 800 user reviews with 97% positive, earning an Overwhelmingly Positive rating. The demo, which had already drawn similarly strong reviews (98% positive in an earlier report), remains available with four stages.
VHOLUME supports solo and multiplayer play across all levels, plus ghost viewing and sharing to discover new routes, and Steam Workshop for community-created levels. It was co-developed by Leonard Lemaitre, known for STRAFTAT and BABBDI, along with Nathan Grange and Niels Tiercelin. Early coverage praised the addictive movement and hidden secrets, and the launch reception confirmed that interest carried into the full release.
