Recordkeeping: Chicory - A Colorful Tale COMPLETE

A lovely game about painting landscapes with sloshy glorpy noises and having clinical depression. In a world where every character and place is named after food, your little self-insert dog gets a magical brush that can color the suddenly-colorless world. Lots of fun paint tricks and meditations on the meaning of art and what it does for and to people follow.

If you've ever been a suffering creative or just felt lost about where your life is going, Chicory will probably speak to you. I found it lovely, if a little preachy at times. Yes, it's an Indie Game About Depression but cliches are cliche for a reason and this one did everything it does very well.

Also halfway through the finale stream I managed to flail so hard trying to engage with a plot revelation that I accidentally cut the stream off. So it was doing something right.

Anyway, playlist over here. Enjoy!
