A French 3D platformer with a surprising gothic look, dragged down by a wayward camera. The strikingly unique world partly offsets the flaws. Worth a look for its visual flair.

Evil Twin Cyprien's Chronicles is among the priciest Dreamcast platformers in Europe, never released in the United States and printed in a tiny PAL run in May 2001 as Sega was abandoning the console. Ubisoft delivered this two-disc set with its dark dreamlike world into an already closing commercial window, hence a complete price well above the more common PS2 and PC ports. A highly coveted Western Dreamcast exclusive.
Is Evil Twin - Cyprien's Chronicles still worth playing in 2026?
Evil Twin - Cyprien's Chronicles is an Ubisoft 3D platformer with a surprisingly dark tone, in which an orphan crosses dreamlike worlds to save his companions. Its tormented art direction and melancholy mood stay memorable, but the gameplay suffers from a wayward camera, imprecise jumps and uneven pacing. Today it appeals mainly through its singular universe and thematic daring, more than its playability. A curiosity for fans of offbeat platformers from the early 3D years.
