Camille’s wish won’t come easily in this collection of short, beautifully-animated moments from her life. She’ll need you to help her face her fears.
Un Pas Fragile follows Camille’s life around the time when she is trying to become a ballet dancer. This is more than just training, though, as you’ll also be helping out with her struggles with bullies and mean people, her family life, and even the challenges she meets on the bus. There are many different difficulties she has to deal with, but if you can help her get her confidence up through her dancing, you might find that she slowly becomes more capable of dealing with the rest of the things that are going wrong.
Helping her is a calming, simple affair. She might need you to tap in the right places to help with her dance moves, or click on certain objects and places to guide where she should go. It’s all quite intuitive and well-guided, asking you to concentrate more on taking the journey with her than in fussing over the correct inputs.
The lovely artwork and music makes it all worthwhile. There’s an innocence behind the cute artwork that makes things quite charming, but doesn’t take away from the ugliness and hardship that Camille’s faces. It may be a cute visual style, but this makes her life seem much crueler at times when you have to face her problems alongside her. It also makes her triumphs that much more compelling, making your heart swell as she begins to take control of her life through dance. Un Pas Fragile conveys a wonderful message wrapped in a wonderful look, and tells a story that will sweep your heart up in moments.
Un Pas Fragile is available now on Itch.io, Steam, Google Play, and the App Store.
