Koru, a boy from Colortown’s slums, sets out to stop the Bleakness, a force draining color and joy from his home. His journey takes him through a world shaped by color, emotion, and creativity.
Explore districts, talk with their inhabitants, fight enemies, and solve environmental puzzles. Traversal is designed without a jump button: Koru automatically jumps and climbs as you move through the environment.
As the adventure progresses, Koru gains powers associated with different colors and emotions. These abilities provide options in combat and help solve puzzles as he works to restore color and joy to Colortown.
Reviewers often enjoy the vivid art, imaginative world, soundtrack, and charming, approachable storybook tone. Some appreciate the simple traversal and relaxed pace, while others find the platforming too automated, combat shallow, or the pacing slow; a few also report freezes.
