In the upcoming game Chicory, painting is a part of the gameplay

Players solve puzzles in the game by coloring the world around them

With the upcoming Chicory: A Colorful Tale, players will be tasked to explore the black, white and gray world around them by painting. Equipped with a magical brush, the world will slowly gain color and the mystery of the vanishing hues solved.

Developed by a small team and published by Finji, Chicory‘s unique painting gameplay mechanic will include new abilities to use around the world. One example uses glow-in-the-dark paint to be able to peer into previously dark areas, revealing hidden entrances to caves or treasure. A different brush tip might change how characters react to each other.

Chicory looks like a charming little coloring book adventure that could give us a creative, artful experience. It launches on PS4/PS5 this year.
