Chicory: A Colorful Tale Indie Game Coming to PS4 and PS5

The PlayStations 4 and 5 have seen plenty of memorably artsy indie games released in recent times, such as Haven and Maquette, and soon they will have another. That’s because Wandersong creator Greg Lobanov has confirmed that his next project, the puzzle-adventure game Chicory: A Colorful Tale, is set to come to the PS4 and PS5, as well as PC and Mac, sometime this spring.

Set in a cartoon world that’s lost all its color, Chicory tasks players with restoring it with the aid of a magic paintbrush. The painting mechanic, according to Lobanov on the PlayStation Blog, is what the entire game was built around, and as such will provide players with a variety of ways to explore the world and solve its puzzles, as well as just color it however they choose. Better yet, the puzzles are designed so that colorblind players will be able to solve them without any trouble as well.

Lobanov goes on to state that the game is “generous with giving the player options” for personalizing their experience, whether they want to focus on the adventure or just mess around with painting the world. Additional options will include the ability to make action sequences slower and easier, as well as completely skippable. Players will even be able to turn on content warnings if they want, because as Chicory’s demo from the latest Steam Game Festival showed, there are some darker moments amid the lighthearted gameplay.

As to be expected, the PS5 version of the game will also make use of the console’s unique features. The DualSense controller will let players paint via the touchpad, and will also provide “soft texture rumbles” designed to make playing feel “warm and cozy, like petting a cat.” Furthermore, the game will utilize the PS5’s Game Help system, in addition to in-game hints, to provide players with a “thorough 100% walkthrough” should they ever need help.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale will launch this spring for Mac, PC, PS4, and PS5.
