It shows a side of Gustave we never knew we wanted to see

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's latest dev blog showcases the development of the recently added photo mode, including "some unexpected and quite funny issues", where characters would become "displaced or deformed."

The post highlights Gustave, whose cheeks and chin have melted through his trousers to the floor, and Sophie, whose head is completely detached from her body. While these effects are apparently due to a bug due to characters existing off-screen for a while, there are other funnier intended consequences of the new mode.

"It allows players to see a lot of things we don’t want to show during normal gameplay," senior gameplay programmer Florian Torres writes. "The photo mode became a way to peek behind the scenes of each cinematic or environment, and sometimes even see how we have created the entire game."
