French independent developer Sandfall Interactive and publisher Kepler Interactive have announced a unique partnership with British jewelry designer Hannah Martin. The collaboration has resulted in a series of conceptual digital jewelry pieces inspired by the characters of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the recently released reactive turn-based RPG. The Expedition 33 jewelry collection serves as a launch and community celebration.
About Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, our team said, “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is more than just a modernization of classic RPG styles. It’s an embrace of the past and charting a unique future. This game hits heights and refinement when it comes to even its technical characteristics that showcase what a small studio can do and what independent studios are capable of.”
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Character-Inspired Digital Jewelry
Five conceptual digital jewelry pieces have been created, drawing inspiration from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 characters Gustave, Lune, Sciel, Maelle, and Verso. Envisioned with 18-carat gold and jet-black obsidian, the designs reflect Martin’s interpretation of Expedition 33’s rich aesthetic, blending the game’s fantasy setting with contemporary art and high-fashion elegance. Sandfall Interactive’s developers intricately modeled these designs in Unreal Engine 5, creating stunning in-engine images seamlessly merging the digital and physical worlds.

Hannah Martin also hand-crafted 33 real-life sterling silver necklaces, inspired by the Verso character’s design. These exclusive pieces are not for sale and serve as a “thank you” to community members and artists who have supported the game.
“This collaboration has been amazing,” said Martin, reflecting on her collaboration with Sandfall Interactive and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in a release to media. “It is totally new territory for me, and I have loved being able to explore and push the boundaries between reality and unreality. It has been a constant dance between real world and fantasy.”
