Our take on Chicory: A Colorful Tale
Painting is not limited to visual decoration here: it becomes the main way to interact with the environment and solve puzzles. That shifts the adventure away from passive world exploration toward restoring color and changing the setting through creative actions.
What is Chicory: A Colorful Tale?
Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a top-down adventure set in a coloring-book world where all color has vanished after the artist Chicory goes missing.
As Chicory’s number-one fan, the player takes up the Brush and explores Picnic Province, painting the environment, solving puzzles, helping friends, and reaching new areas with newly unlocked painting abilities. The game includes more than 100 animal characters, collectible clothes, plants, and furniture, along with dozens of side quests such as mail delivery, art classes, and photography. It offers more than 10 hours of gameplay and supports local co-op, allowing friends to paint together.
