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.

A true Masterpiece. Actually the best solo game i have ever played... Graphics, the music, the scenario, the gameplay, everything is just... like a dream. More than a video game, it is a piece of art, a true experience. I am often disappointed by "hyped" games, but for this one the "hype" doesn't even give it true justice. I can only thank all those who participated into creating Clair Obscur for the experience they provided.
喜欢奇幻的冒险故事
Jeu magnifique et touchant
meh
Malgré un PC qui commence à ramer (comme son utilisateur) des graphismes et des paysages extraordinaires. Je suis presque tenté de changer mon PC rien que pour pouvoir profiter pleinement des graphismes. Je joue sur souris et clavier et ca fonctionne bien. Le style de jeu demande à être apprivoisé mais est très intéressant Très belle surprise
Meilleur jeu de ma vie i love
gutes Spiel
什么？回合制居然能闪避弹反？！我觉得就很有创新 还有我觉得这是一款艺术性非常高的游戏
simplesmente triplo A
Ok somehow this one got game of the year, but what you will do most in this game, is QTEs and more QTEs, mechanically again and again and again. The combat in general does not seem deeper than that. A lot of upgrades, that in the end still mean QTEs... So far the Story seems promising and the graphic design is nice, not essentially mine, but still nice to watch. The characters seem a bit one dimensional. As other also mentioned, the music is great and carries the game a lot. All in all it would probably be a nice game, if the QTEs could be skipped and combat would not take so long, for so little tactical complexity.
