Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an incredible new game by French developers Sandfall Interactive, and it is AMAZING. This is not a light lift for you TTRPG folks who may want to emulate the game at the table, but that doesn't mean there isn't a LOT for you to mine for your own games without having to try and replicate this masterpiece. Take home notes: Asymmetric design is awesome, and each character feeling like they're doing something unique and totally different is a great way to keep things interesting while finding combos and letting people have an experience that matches their preferred style of game while at the same table. Flawed characters are better than "good ones," because flaws give your characters things to challenge, overcome, or fall into to make their triumph over a struggle that much better. Slow. Drip. Knowledge to pace decision making and draw parallels or crossroads for certain characters based on information learned about the wider world or story of your campaign. This makes conflict both external and internal to the characters and resonates more than just "wow that was a tough combat!" Monoco is the best, you won't convince me otherwise. Oh and good news, the team at Sandfall has already said that Expedition 33 is only one of the many stories they want to tell within the greater concept of Clair Obscur. THAT'S EXCITING! ----more---- Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel! I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

We dive into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a stylish turn-based RPG set in a dreamlike, Belle Époque-inspired world where players must defeat the Paintress before she erases another year of humanity's history.• The game's stunning visuals, world-building, and soundtrack create an immersive experience despite coming from a small development team• Clair Obscur's combat system blends turn-based strategy with real-time action in a uniquely satisfying way• Voice performances from Charlie Cox, Andy Serkis, and others bring emotional depth to the characters despite lip-syncing issues• The game delivers a shocking moment at the end of Act One that forces players to confront grief—one of its central themes• While attempting several gameplay mechanics beyond its core combat, some elements like platforming and climbing feel less polished• At 30-40 hours of gameplay with Act Two being particularly lengthy, the game offers substantial content for its price• Clair Obscur stands as a Game of the Year contender alongside titles like Silksong and Death Stranding 2Interested in watching us play games?

Nick is addicted to Ball X Pit, a concoction from the sick mind behind Mr. Sun's Hatbox. Josh has restarted Expedition 33 and still has no idea about the end of act 1 (the poor child). The bros then get into the second week of Robocop: Rogue City book club, where they explore the tech takeover of the police force and the unpredictability from the machines, that are supposed to be a source of predictability.

Hello everyone!!We're talking about one of 2025's biggest and best releases so far, and with our good friend André! It's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!It's French, but we have to talk about it. Both how it creates a mechanically elaborate and successful game, and how it manages to incur in unfortunate psychological reductions and an... unfortunate bump into imperialism and colonialism. We have plenty good and plenty bad in it, so we had to talk about it, and its Frenchness.Enjoy!If you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras, check our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!
