![]() the main story gets heavy, but it never feels mired in its own weight. i don't need to be an arist to enjoy painting chicory's world bright.įinding your own way to do things is an overarching theme in the story, which for all its fluffy pastel aesthetics, delves heavily into issues of depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and how to figure out your path in life when you're used to staking your self-worth on what you do for others. fill in every screen in monochrome? doodle hearts on all the trees? make the grass tie-dye? put anarchy symbols on every building? yes, yes, yes, yes! if you don't like the color palettes the game provides you (each area has its own default set of colors to choose from), there is an npc who will let you make your own and use whatever colors you like. the game encourages playfulness - there's an ever-changing range of color and style options available to help you decorate the world, and you're largely given license to color any way your heart desires. i was hooked from the first splashes of paint i got to throw on the blank coloring-book-style canvas of the world. What follows is an absolutely charming adventure game. you and the abandoned brush set of on a quest to find chicory and brighten the world back up again. ![]() at the beginning of the game, though, through unknown murky dismal shenanigans, all the world's color has disappeared - along with chicory, the current wielder. In chicory: a colorful tale, you play as an enthusiastic anthropomorphic dog who has been working as the janitor for the wielder, an artist whose job it is to use a magical paintbrush to give color to picnic, the world in which you reside. ![]()
