![]() And while you can paint any area however you like, there are multiple places set up in specific ways to invite explicit creativity, like a huge blank building you're asked to tag, or a mountain viewpoint where NPCs request you color a sky for them to admire. There's a built-in GIF-maker that lets you capture your painting process. You can also design your own brush style and clothing items. If you're feeling limited by the four-color restriction per area, an NPC will eventually give you a brush style that lets you customize your colors with full freedom. An art academy subplot lets you take art classes and attempt to recreate different pieces of art, with your recreations later posted and admired by NPCs around the world. ![]() Whatever your skill level, Chicory is full of optional content inviting you to play around with its many built-in art tools. ![]() Chicory does this in large ways through story scenes, but also in small ways, like having its funny and adorable NPCs pop up unexpectedly in areas you've been through before to admire the art you did there. But then it offers the tools and encouragement to try anyway, and goes farther to challenge those self-effacing beliefs by rejoicing in thoughtful effort without judgment. It recognizes that its audience, me included, may think they are objectively god-awful at art. ![]() It's a thoughtful game that wants you to walk along with it at a pace that feels pleasant, with puzzles that require consideration but never strain, sidequests in measured but not overwhelming amounts, and plenty of fun things to discover or stumble upon that never feel mandatory or guilt-inducing if you miss them. This is certainly a game I would recommend to take your time with and not worry too much about how long it’ll take you to complete as it will hinder the experience.This is emblematic of all of Chicory: it is not a stressful or fast-paced game (apart from a few brief boss encounters). Although, the game is designed for you to go at a slow pace and soak up the atmosphere as you paint the empty canvas of this world. If you aim to complete the main storyline with side quests that include finding lost kids, collecting clothes, and gaining brush styles, this might take you anywhere from 30 to 40 hours. Nevertheless, suppose the boss battle becomes too annoying in that case, you could adjust the difficulty level in the options menu, which also has a skip option that allows you to bypass the boss fight altogether.ĭepending on how you choose to experience the game, it will significantly affect your overall time. The difficulty of the boss fights is not too bad, and even if you die, you will restart from the point in the battle you were knocked out. I found this to be particularly helpful during The Wielders Temple, as it can be tricky to remember the patterns for the puzzles to progress further. When you reach specific points of the game, it may be beneficial to take screenshots with the in-game camera to help you solve puzzles. Your mum will answer the phone first to give you a general hint, but if that is not enough for you, the phone can then be passed on to your dad, who will tell you exactly what needs to be done next. If you want to dramatically cut down your completion time and get some handy hints along the way, you can head to the nearest phone box to ring your in-game parents. Although, it may be best to start with the one closest to you, which should be Banquest Rainforest and then tackle the rest from there. The Wielders Trials occur during chapters 6-9 and can be completed in any order you want. The four-trial locations are: Banquest Rainforest, Branch Canyon, Desert Mountain, and Spoons Island. You can go to the four corners of the Picnic Province to complete them. When you reach the game’s halfway mark, there will be several trials for you to perform. The linear storyline takes place over ten chapters and can take approximately 10-15 hours to complete. However, it will give you a rough idea of what you might be able to expect when approaching the game. This guide will not teach you how to produce anything resembling postmodern realism for your art gallery. It’s now your job to splash life back into this colourless land with the power of a magical paintbrush. Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a wonderful adventure (9/10 kind of wonderful) that takes place in a black and white styled colouring book world that has been drained of all of its vibrant colours.
