Chicory: A Colorful Tale

In Chicory: A Colorful Tale, you play as an adorable anthropomorphic dog who suddenly finds themselves shouldered with the responsibility of restoring color to a colorless world. Using a magic paintbrush that turns the world into your canvas, you can carefully color within the lines or (way more fun!) splatter the land with big, bold streaks and splotches. In response, the world comes alive. Plants and trees flourish, elevating you to new heights or flinging you to otherwise unreachable areas. Chicory is full of endearing characters to aid and quests to complete, but it’s also a game that revels in the act of creative play for its own sake. The narrative and gameplay mesh perfectly to create a game with surprisingly profound things to say about the subjectivity of art and beauty, and the bravery it takes to trust yourself enough to create something of your own and put it out into the world.
