278: Chicory: A Colorful Tale
from The Short Game Hosted by The Short Game
Chicory is a game about a black and white world, and an unlikely artist-dog given a magic paintbrush and tasked with coloring it in. Like developer Greg Lobanov’s previous game Wandersong, it’s also a deceptively well written and emotional story with engaging characters facing real problems. Chicory deals intelligently with themes of depression, impostor syndrome, the nature of art, and what it does to the artist and to the world, while remaining fun and warm throughout. Explore the Picnic Province, meet dozens of fun animal characters, and save the world with your art! Chicory is available on PC/Mac and the PS4/5. Expect it to take about 8-10 hours to complete.
