Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Expedition 33 is art.  Quite literally.

67 years ago the people of Lumiere found themselves cut off from the world where a mysterious god, a Paintress paints an ever decreasing number of a cliff.  Everyone of that age or lower turns to dust - and each year an expedition sets off to try and stop the Paintress.  You are Expedition 33.

The story is truly a masterwork of fiction, the world you are in and beyond is both beautiful and intriguing and the Paintress is just a small part of the story.  The tragedy, the heroism - it was alldone amazingly well, I felt for these characters - I despaired when they did.

In the end you are presented with a sort of moral dilemma in how to resolve the ultimate conflict.  I feel like I made the right decision, but it felt like a punch in the gut doing it.  So good!
