Musical tracks by Lena Raine that accompany gameplay create an immersive storybook atmosphere, pulling you into cheerful (or intimidating) locations. The beautiful musical score amplifies the theme of a whimsical storybook within Chicory. Since the entire map can be colored, Chicory plays like an adventure game blended with a coloring book that comes to life before your eyes. This makes painting the world an enjoyable venture! The game enhances these painting mechanics thanks to unique patterns you can apply to your brush. The paintbrush bridges almost every interaction between the player and the world, so the painting mechanic is of utmost importance.įortunately, Chicory: A Colorful Tale has an abundance of different puzzling mechanics, all tying into the painting that you can do. Your answer will become the name for your character, hence the beginning of Mac&Cheese. *To embrace the meal themed setting, Chicory asks you for your favorite food. This immediately places Mac&Cheese* (the name of my protagonist) in a situation they’re clearly not trained for. Wielders come from a long line of artists who wield the legendary paintbrush: a magical tool gifting the user the ability to color the world.Ĭhicory, the current Wielder, offers the protagonist the brush after giving up on their job. You begin your adventure within the Picnic Province (the food-themed setting of Chicory) as the protagonist goes through the motions at their janitorial job within the Wielder’s Tower. For all of its witty, cute characters, I felt the deepest connection with the protagonist herself, who constantly struggled with the feeling of being in a position they didn’t deserve.
Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a game that does just that, harboring a purposeful story through the synthesis of deeply personal characters, clever painting mechanics, and commentary on societal expectations.Ĭhicory spoke to me on a personal level. Games that forego aimless entertainment to make a difference can seem pretentious, but when done right, these treasures can connect to those who relate to their themes. T here is an inherent noteworthiness to a game that is granted when it takes a stand and speaks about social issues.
