The colour of the background decides which obstacles stand in your way in this puzzle-adventure. The setting begins as a dangerous grey land, and you gather coloured fragments while searching for your missing mother. Any obstacle that matches the current background colour disappears, so switching colours opens up new routes and new puzzles.
The story deals with love, loss and remorse, and a cast of talkative characters each have their own personalities. The art uses stark silhouettes with bold colours, backed by more than 30 original music tracks and voiced narration. It is a single-player game with full controller support, and it suits puzzle-platformer fans who want a reflective story.
