About
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.

Fantastic game, awesome story, I cried. I don't usually like turn-based games (or at least I thought so) but the dodge/parry/jump mechanics added a component of skill that I liked. Great visuals, great music, great voice acting, nothing I can really complain about. I dived into it without watching gameplay based on strong recommendations and I don't regret it.
"Dim-dim-dam-dada, dim-dim-da-dada, dim-da-lilam Dim-dim-dam-dada, dim-dim-da-dada, dim-da-lilam" Если после двух часов у вас это не заело в голове, значит нужно погулять по Льюмеру ещё
it's peakkkkkkkk best game and story everrr
one of those rare pieces of art that makes you reconsider how storytelling functions as a medium. people talk about "the plot twist(s)," but there isn't really any twist here so much as a gradual unfolding into something greater than the sum of its parts. i'm a sucker for art about art, and that's exactly what this game is, packaged into a tight jrpg and elevated by a narrative that ultimately astounds in its simplicity. go in blind, and you'll have one hell of a time.
10 из 10, однозначно игра года! Впервые играю в JRPG и очень доволен этой игрой
No denuvo. Good fps.
I am finding it to be an interesting & enjoyable casual game. I play it on story mode.
quite simply put, this is one of the best games I have EVER played...and I've been gaming for a very long time!
Beautiful graphics, amazing story, great game play. What more could you ask for?
Writing, Storytelling, Artistic, Soundtracks, Gameplay, all are insanely well done. My favorite RPG of the decade.
