Chicory: A Colorful Tale is an adventure game about a dog wielding a magic paintbrush! Use the power of art to explore, solve puzzles, help your animal friends and restore color to the world. Created by Greg Lobanov (Wandersong), Lena Raine (Celeste, Guild Wars 2), Em Halberstadt (Night in the Woods, Wandersong, Untitled Goose Game), and newcomers Alexis Dean-Jones and Madeline Berger!

The Brush is a one-of-a-kind artifact that can color the world. Naturally, it needs a wielder, a master artist responsible for all colors and for passing the brush down. The current wielder, Chicory, is immensely talented and beloved by all... until all the color in the land vanishes, and her with it! I guess that leaves it up to you, her number one fan, to take up the brush and fill in for her. Hmm... good luck!

Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a top-down adventure game in a coloring book world where you can draw on anything. Use your painting powers to explore new places, solve puzzles, help your friends, and change the world!

Something terrible happened. Chicory, superstar artist and wielder of the Brush, is missing, and all the color in the land vanished with her. It’s up to you, Chicory’s number one fan, to pick up the Brush and fill in for her. It’s a big job… but you’re ready for it! Probably!

  • Explore the Picnic Province, and paint on anything!
  • Solve puzzles and manipulate the environment with paint.
  • Unlock new paint abilities and use them to reach new places.
  • Dress up how you want with collectible clothes, plants, and furniture.
  • Discover a world full of 100+ animal characters.
  • Experience 10+ hours of gameplay and dozens of side quests including mail delivery, art classes, photo taking, and more.

  • And an original soundtrack by Lena Raine! (Celeste, Minecraft)

I got excited for this after playing the demo last year, before realizing it was by the Wandersong devs (which I had just finished). I bought and completed it already (not 100% yet) and it's just a wonderful game. The writing is as good as Wandersong, maybe better, the painting has a surprising amount of platforming / navigation mechanics to play with, and the "bosses" are excellent. Tons of accessibility options as well.

Definitely going to get anything this team makes day 1 at this point, they seem really great. I didn't love the gameplay of Wandersong but still loved the game because it was just so well done even so.
