Imagine a world where artists don't just sign paintings, but use them as weapons. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, painters don't just decorate hipster cafes: they create entire universes with a brushstroke. Of course, their talent comes with a problem: the writers, those beings who prefer typing to getting their hands dirty, are determined to rewrite their works. Literally.

Fans of Alan Wake will notice a resemblance: here, fiction also becomes reality, although instead of using a flashlight as a weapon, the characters wield paintbrushes capable of drawing portals to other dimensions 🖌️. The writers, on the other hand, correct realities like compulsive editors. The result? A creative chaos that would make Bob Ross cry (or perhaps inspire a new painting).
