Lilac 0 is OUT NOW on Steam!

Rage against the machines in a metal-slicing shmup

4th MARCH, 2025 – Lilac 0 is a brand new shmup with a classic arcade feel and it's just launched on Steam, priced $11.49. Developed by Victor Pouderoux and released in partnership with indie publisher Digerati, Lilac 0 is primarily aimed at skilled STG fans who enjoy quality retro aesthetics and a challenging experience.

Set on the machine world of Molybdion, Lilac 0 puts players in the role of Rairakku, an ancient warrior and blade-wielding automaton deployed to destroy the planet's mechanzied inhabitants.

Rairakku is equipped with a scan ability that targets enemies and slows down his movement for greater precision. He can also dash-slice – a move that renders him momentarily invulnerable and allows him to cut enemies into pieces. Mastering both these mechanics is the secret to high scores!
