Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Description
“Year by year, She erases us.”
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a ground-breaking turn-based RPG with unique real-time mechanics, making battles more immersive and addictive than ever. Explore a fantasy world inspired by Belle Époque France in which you battle devastating enemies.
Reactive Turn-based Combat
In this evolution of JRPGs, real-time actions enhance the heart of turn-based combat. Craft unique builds for your Expeditioners that fit your playstyle via gear, stats, skills, and character synergies. Open an active dimension in combat - dodge, parry, and counter in real time, chain combos by mastering attack rhythms, and target enemy weak points using a free aim system.
“Tomorrow Comes”
With only one year left to live, join Gustave, Maelle, and their fellow Expeditioners as they embark upon a desperate quest to break the Paintress’ cycle of death. Follow the trail of previous expeditions and discover their fate. Get to know the members of Expedition 33 as they learn to work together against impossible odds.
A Hauntingly Beautiful World
Explore an enchanting realm populated by surreal adversaries. Wander through breathtaking landscapes, from the Island of Visages to the Forgotten Battlefield, discovering secrets and hidden quests along the way. Find allies of fortune in creatures of legend. Recruit special companions to access new travel methods and discover secret areas in the World Map.
Experience the debut game from Sandfall Interactive, fully realized in Unreal Engine 5 with stunning graphics and a heartbreaking soundtrack.

Critics reviews
Fextralife
9.5/10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may very well win game of the year and may do so with the staff of under 50 people, proving that passion, dedication, talent and a clear vision are far more important than a large marketing budget, scores and scores of writers and tech personnel, and a big brand to rely on. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Sandfall Interactive and hope it looks a lot like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

10/10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rare RPG that feels mechanically bold, emotionally grounded, and unforgettable long after the credits roll.

70/100
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's gorgeously realized world is let down by its emphasis on combat, marred by a few fatal stumbles.

One of the best RPGs I've ever played
From the gameplay, to the story, characters, music, art direction, and atmosphere, E33 was one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and I've played a long list of them. Each character has their place in this world, each story beat has its meaning, and each moment has its own incredible impact that culminates into a masterpiece of a video game that I believe will be an example for all developers going forward, no matter what genre of game they make. If you're a fan of turn based games with a rich, deep story that rewards you with little nuggets of lore for digging deeper than the beaten path provides, this game is for you. If a game's score is what brings forth your enjoyment, then you're in for a treat. And if it takes having compelling characters that, when scratching further than their surface, offer more than just what their proverbial cover of the book provides, then you're gonna love this. For those who come after. Tomorrow comes.

I don't do reviews..
..ever. But i'll make an exception for this one. On paper Expedition 33 seemed like a terminally "wrong" game for me. I'm not fond of JRPG's or turn based combat and i have a very strong dislike for QTE's. I'm glad the imagery managed to persuade me to give it a try regardless. The prologue alone blew me away and as the prologue's most meaningful scene played out i was already 100% committed to the world, story and characters. Clair Obscur is beautiful, and memorable, in every possible way, truly a unique and worthwhile experience. Hats off, Sandfall, and thank you.

This one touched my heart
The gameplay, Story, Music and everything else about this game is wonderful. A whole hearted recommendation from me. I played through it on Steam already but I wanna support the devs and gog so I bought it here and intend to play it again or maybe even figure out a way to transfer my save file
