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.

Esta bastante bueno el juego, no por nada fue el GOTY del 2025.
Best game of the Decade, Best Soundtrack of the Century
You spend dozens of hours on a journey, only to learn you're a character in a painting, and none of it mattered. Terrible performance, a mediocre soundtrack, endless cutscenes, empty levels, awful pacing and pretentious writing. GOTY 2025 my a$$.

JJ Abrams mystery
I'll be honest, I came into this game not expecting to like it and after finishing it, it's now in my top 10 games of all time. It really took me a few hours of play time before I was able to grasp everything but by the end of Act 1 I could really see the vision. This story is not a happy one and at times it deals with some really heavy topics so just be prepared for that. By the end of the game all of the characters grew on me and I really enjoyed the way each character could provide something in a fight. I will say, the Pictos and Lumina system is a little overwhelming at times but learn it quick and you'll have such a better time getting through the fights in this game. The story can be really confusing at times...however...making sure to talk to each character while at camp will help to clear some things up. The character and world building in the game is a bit slow but just talk to everyone and you will eventually understand most things. The music and art...some of the best I've ever seen/heard in gaming. I played with a good pair of headphones most of the time and was blown away by the beautiful music they included. It really just makes the game so much better. Overall, I give the entire game a 10/10. I put about 70 hours into this playthrough and still haven't seen or collected everything. I'm sure I will come back to it again to 100% it.
10/10 cried so hard i almost threw up!!! really good game!!!!
