I recently finished expedition 33 and everything about this game's narrative means so much to me. 50 hours flew by just like that But I couldnt just leave it be, I had to dedicate more time to this game celebrating what I might say is one of the snazziest tracks in the game.

Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I'm obliged to draw them.

I AM COMPLETELY BROKEN. I NEED THERAPY-

No regrets placing this game alongside BG3—a game I’ve always held to a high writing standard. While both games challenged my morality and personal principles, E33’s choices hit differently. Its linear approach doesn’t dilute the weight—in fact, it sharpens it. The emotional impact lingers sharply, as if the writing itself scrapes against your heart.

Depression, guilt, sorrow, and emotional emptiness: What would you be willing to sacrifice to erase these feelings entirely? Would you choose to live as a blissfully ignorant character inside a painting, or remain an empty shell in reality? Would you let someone continue begging for release just to preserve your own happiness—or would you give up that happiness to dismantle the illusion?

I'M ROOTING FOR THIS GAME TO WIN GOTY.

Okay DAD (sarcasm) 🙄

Vehicles (vroom vroom!)

Au where no one dies and Verso's still disowning his family and did I mention more modern au, where Verso's a piano teacher and Gustave's a piano (heavy duty instrument) technician 😃

I pulled out an old drawing tablet for these so the images aren't as compressed lol

The idea that a younger Verso came up to Clea to share his idea of a beautiful and wonderful world of Gestrals and Esquies and Clea went that’s nice but it needs more monsters and mimes that haunt your nightmares

[aerithisms]

esquie from e33 absolutely melts my heart. in this world painted from the imagination of a little boy, the strongest being in existence is a personification of his favourite stuffed toy. because nothing makes a child feel safer than their favourite stuffie, and in their mind it can protect them from anything

[sakom75]

based on that dialog between Verso and Monoco, who knows how many times he had to sleep off dismemberment??

[hypherr]

MY BOYS...SWEET BOYS...gonna be a wooden standee or charm :sob:

[fishmoochi]

standee coming soon 💫💫💫

and this is the end of my screenshots!! hope you all enjoyed following my journey through my first run of this game. final thoughts:

this game is a goddamn MASTERPIECE. the gorgeous graphics, the beautiful character models, the eloquent dialogue, and the tragically relatable story have made the game SKYROCKET to the top of my favorites. i truly felt for and fell in love with every single character. i cried more than i ever have at a game, and laughed about the same amount. the mechanics were a fucking dream to learn. as someone who is Bad at Videogames, playing turn-based systems is much easier on my brain. and even though it’s more strategy based, there’s a shit ton of quick reactions needed in combat. it actually improved my reflexes irl lmao

all in all, this game is one of the best i’ve ever played or seen. every single developer, voice actor, writer, animator, and anyone else who contributed to this masterpiece need awards. if you have not played yet, i HIGHLY encourage you to give it a try. it might just surprise you.

MONOCO

[sassypeacock0501]

It’s well after the fact and I didn’t know where else to say this but, Sandfall…

With all my love, FUCK YA’LL FOR DOING MONOCO LIKE THAT!

Losing Noco like that was not fair! How dare you hit me in the feels over a goddamn puppet child and their father.

The man has no face, an ape body, a dump truck ass, turned having a foot fetish into a goddamn Olympic sport, and goes “Owowowo” whenever I pick shit up. I didn’t expect to be crying over his pain too!

Shout out to my favorite character (and top tier party member honestly) - Monoco. Love ya, you dummy thicc puppet.

Also his theme song is PERFECTION!

Loved the jump puzzle for that costume. Totally worth it. And a nice break from all the dépression.

Seriously though, who on the dev team gave the dad puppet a bakery?

Clea can keep pretending not to give a fuck about the Canvas but I’m gonna be honest I don’t think anyone cares about it more then her

She painted half this world with Verso. She painted the strongest turtle ever, gave him overpowered abilities and made him her best friend. They sang and they danced and ever since she left Francois was never the same.

She helped paint the landscape, together they made the endless tower. He was scared of the dark so she painted her Lampmaster to fuck with him. She fought with Verso, Monoco, Noco and all the Gestrals and traded words with the Grandis, helped Esquie find his rocks.

After the Fracture she could’ve made her Nevrons anything, an army without soul to end her families madness. She doesn’t. She adds stalacts in the cold, she adds over a dozen mimes, she adds her Nevrons that do not attack they simply eat the mountains their on. She adds her dancers, her sky and sea serpent. She adds things that belong in this world, creatures who match their position in the Painting.

She paints over Painted Clea. She was content to let Aline stew in her grief, but she draws a line at this false representation of her. She has Simon kill her Axon. She is already in this painting. She is the Fading Woman and the Lady of Sap. This whole world is her work, all of it her representation.

Her family is fighting over Verso’s memory like dogs with a bone and they have destroyed her world. She painted half of this Canvas, a Canvas wrecked during the Fracture. His Gestrals and Grandis were misplaced, the land split.

Clea does not want to destroy this Canvas. The last piece of their brothers soul. But her brother is dead now, and her sister has been maimed and her mother is running from it and her father is too content to run right after her. The people who did this still breathe, something Verso can’t do and Alicia can only do with pain.

War is on their doorstep, and she can’t protect Alicia and her parents are too busy to be useful, her mother lost her spot as head of the painters council. Destroying the Canvas is the only way to get that semblance of her family back because Aline will never stop and Renoir will never stop chasing her.

They all tackle their grief differently, and Clea’s method is revenge. I imagine it’s no help that the only way she’ll have support in this war she singlehandedly wages is if she destroys the world she built with her deceased brother.

One day Clea woke up and not another person in her house made a sound. Because Verso was in the ground, Alicia was robbed of her voice and her parents have lost their minds.
