Chicory is a Zelda-like game in a world that loses its colours and where the gameplay turns around the recoloration of the world. this basis gives power like swimming in the colours like in Splatoon.
It is an adventure game but there are very few battle encounters. You will spend most of your time exploring, resolving puzzles, painting and reading dialogs. The bosses are the only battles you will have. They are very easy, but the animations are mind-blowing and the music of those bosses are extremely good. By the way, the composer of the game is Lena Raine, and Emi Evans makes an appearance for a song! They are the composer of Celeste and the singer of Nier.
Chicory is a relaxing and very accessible game. I recommend it for his originality, his music and the themes it addresses.
Of course, they are themes centralized around the art world. It poses questions on the loose of author vision during restoration work. It also approaches the difficulty to find a place in this field and having its creations recognized. And a lot more!
But it also deals with very personal subjects. Demotivation, depression, lack of self-confidence, lack of recognition, impostor syndrome, ... I think they are themes that speak to everyone and it make the interactions very touching. Specially between Chicory and the main character.
By viewing the cuteness of the game, I didn’t expect to find a game with such care on the themes it addresses. But it became an aspect that I loved. Also, I was a bit afraid to not like it because I’m really bad with drawing stuff, but finally it was not a problem.
