Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a 2025 role-playing video game developed by French studio Sandfall Interactive and published by Kepler Interactive. Set in a dark fantasy Belle Époque setting, the game follows the members of Expedition 33 as they set out to destroy the Paintress, a being causing the yearly Gommage, where those at or above an ever-decreasing age are erased from existence. In the game, the player controls a party of characters from a third-person perspective, exploring areas and engaging in combat. Its turn-based mechanics feature real-time aspects such as quick time events and timed actions in combat.

Runs well on modern hardware.

I played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 once… and I thought I understood it. So I played it again. And somewhere between the quiet moments and the chaos, it stopped feeling like a game and started feeling like a memory I didn’t know I had. This isn’t the kind of story you rush. It’s the kind that sits with you. The first time, I chased answers. The second time, I paid attention. To the silence between conversations To the weight behind every choice To the feeling that something beautiful was always just out of reach Most games reward you for winning. This one? It rewards you for feeling. I’ve played it twice now, and somehow it feels like it played me back. 10/10 experience. Not because it was perfect— But because it made me stop, reflect… and come back different.
I'm a year late to this wonderful game, I've just finished the main story and I can safely say, this is the best RPG I've played since Baldurs Gate 3. Time to wrap up the side quests.....
