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.

Magnificent
Very addictive play, just want to see to make it to the next flag. If you're a fan on the classic FF VII - X turn based RPG, but you wanted something that looked modern get this.

A masterpiece
It's masterpiece. Not sure if it's even a computer game. Reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy (6 and beyond), but much more mature.

A French-Japan-Music-Paint Synestesia
If you ever liked Final Fantasy you will adore this. Even if JRPG are not really my favourite genre, this game really is what can only be described as a piece of Art. A very dark piece of art, in hindsight.. The plot is interesting, even if it takes a while to make sense of it, but stick with it and you won't regret it. Won't spoil the ending, but I must say the narrative choice there is very bold, love it. About the fight mechanics, the dodge/parry/counter system makes enemy turns very engaging, and the usual animations that make some JRPG a wait-fest here are instead refreshingly fast but still beautiful. If I had to complain about something, I would say that it is really unfortunate that the world really opens up only after the second-last main fight: the result is that the mentioned fight feels epic, then you grind a lot, and arrive at the last fight so buffed that it feels like an anticlimatic breeze... All in all, however, the praise this game gets is well deserved.

An Incoming Classic and Potential GOTY
10/10/25 I can call this game is possible to be GOTY but it has competitors but 80-90% chance it will win. Game is all about grief no spoilers about the story just play the game. Thankyou gog for making this DRM free since I am contemplating to get this. But played it missing 2 Achievements yet this is another 10/10 for me
