In 2020, a small Reddit post asked for a few voice actors.
Five years later, it led to one of the highest-rated RPGs of the decade.

This is the story of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — and how Sandfall Interactive built an AAA-quality game on an AA budget.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 didn’t come from a massive publisher or a hundred-million-dollar budget.
It came from a handful of developers, online forums, YouTube tutorials, and a vision shaped by classic JRPGs.

This documentary explores:

-How Sandfall Interactive formed from a grassroots passion project

-How the internet helped assemble the team

-Why Expedition 33 feels AAA while costing under $10 million

-How Unreal Engine, outsourcing, and focus replaced bloated pipelines

-Why its success sent shockwaves through the modern AAA industry

Inspired by the legacy of Final Fantasy and the golden age of JRPGs, Expedition 33 proves that cinematic, realistic, turn-based RPGs never disappeared — they were simply ignored.
