The world is your coloring book

Chicory: A Colorful Tale - The played character stands with a brush in front of a grey and white tower. The ground has been partially colored rainbow and some of the nearby trees have been filled in green.

“Something terrible happened. Chicory, superstar artist and wielder of the Brush, is missing, and all the color in the land vanished with her,” the creators say. “It’s up to you, Chicory’s number one fan, to pick up the Brush and fill in for her.”

Chicory’s new launch trailer here gets into those story bits of searching for Chicory and some of the other animal pals you’ll meet in Picnic Province.

You can spot a bit of the puzzling too, which looks pretty swell. Different colors look to change the environment around you to create pathways to new areas and solve clues. The developers say that you’ll unlock additional paint abilities as you play which you’ll use to reach new areas.

Alice Bee has already taken a look at Chicory, which she called one of thebest Steam festival demosfrom last summer. She says it’s a game where you “use a magic paintbrush to return colour to the world and also do some pretty intense boss fights that you probably weren’t expecting.” She also explains a bit of the traversal puzzle bits, “involving trees that shrink when coloured in and mushrooms that explode paint when you jump on them”.

She calls the boss fight she encountered “My First Bullet Hell” which, yeah, was not what I’d have expected from a game with a coloring book theme.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale launches on June 10th overon Steam.
