Chicory: A Colorful Tale Is A Game About A Dog With A Magic Paintbrush

The only thing better than a dog is a dog with a magical paintbrush and if you can give me that in a video game, you’ve definitely got my attention. Chicory: A Colorful Tale aims to provide that and more, offering up a simply delightful-looking top-town adventure game which promises to be a treat for both the eyes and the ears.

Chicory’s unbelievably charming and unique style makes the perfect backdrop for this game, which will see you use the power of your magic paintbrush to solve puzzles while exploring the world and making friends.

Developed by Greg Lobanov and published by Finji, Chicory is described as being “like Zelda in a coloring book world, with a dash of Animal Crossing!” Sounds like a dream come true to be honest…

So what’s the paintbrush got to do with it then? Well, as you can see from the screenshots, you’ll start out in a colourless world and it’s up to you to fill in all the white spaces.

According to Chicory’s official Steam page: “The Brush is a one-of-a-kind artifact that can color the world. Naturally, it needs a wielder, a master artist responsible for all colors and for passing the brush down. The current wielder, Chicory, is immensely talented and beloved by all… until all the color in the land vanishes, and her with it! I guess that leaves it up to you, her number one fan, to take up the brush and fill in for her. Hmm… good luck!”
