Each square of the map starts completely white and you can color it or not. Simply exploring the world and its vibrant colors is a joy. It’s rare to see a game that injects so many mechanical elements into its themes so beautifully, but Chicory completely succeeds in taking every idea it presents literally. So when they began to bring color back to lovingly named places like Luncheon, Potluck, and Elevenses, they upended the obstacles of self-doubt and public expectations.
My little Lasagne, however, had no experience, they were simply Chicory’s house cleaners, and happened to be the first to find the famously dropped brush on the floor.
#Chicory a colorful tale characters full
The original world of Chicory was full of color, and it was the owner’s job to maintain that color, so now Lasagne must complete that quest and paint the town red, blue, and yellow. Why this is happening and what Chicory’s reasons are, are best left to be discovered, but it’s a game that isn’t afraid to peel back the layers and explore the mental effects of failure and its failures. The adventure begins when Lasagne finds a magic brush, dropped by the famous welder Chicory, and it becomes evident that all color has disappeared from the world. At the start of the game, I was asked what my favorite food was, and so my character Lasagne was born. Because perfection doesn’t exist, and if you try to solve problems just for the sake of perfection, you will never be happy.Ĭhicory takes place in a beautiful hand-drawn world called Picnic, where each area is named after some kind of meal, and each character is named after a different dish. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be enjoyed at all. On the path to perfection, there are many steps along the way. It’s about the adult drive to make things perfect, and how that takes away from us the joy of simple experiments. Then I come home from a couple of beers, pick it up without thinking about it, and remind myself that just strumming a few chords makes my heart happy.
Sometimes I don’t play guitar for months, because it gets me nowhere. Somewhere along the way, it was no longer about fun, but about being good, about success, and the lack of those elements took away the joy.
“As a kid who loved joining bands and learning instruments, I had a lot of fun just playing on my guitar or keyboard, watching what happened and enjoying the learning process. George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright, once said “We don’t stop playing because we grow old We grow old because we stop playing. There is a famous saying that always haunts me.
