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.

Interesting story and satisfying battle system
这游戏不愧是年度游戏，画风是真的惊艳。。。太惊艳了。
10/10
Very good game. Due to the art style, the enemies and the QTE combat, I was reserved at first but it grew on me.
One of the best games I have ever played from both a narrative and gameplay mechanic standpoint.
Esta bastante bueno el juego, no por nada fue el GOTY del 2025.
So good it makes me want to be French!
I dont play many turn based Rpgs but the story, characters, and music make this game an absolute must even if you dont like the turn based aspect. But to add to that, I found all the mechanics pretty straightforward and fun to experiment with. If you're on the fence, I suggest you just try it, I was pleasantly surprised.
Selten von so einem Spiel so gefesselt gewesen. Ein absolutes Meisterwerk!
