You picked it up, of course, and decided to put some color back into this world again by splashing splotches of paint everywhere-from the now discolored trees to the monochromatic homes.Įvery scene in Chicory is an invitation to inject more hues, and I have painstakingly coloured most of its blank spaces with the refined motor coordination skills of a toddler. In a state of shock, you ran out of the studio towards Chicory’s room, and found her enchanted paintbrush discarded outside.

Its deteriorating state is most clearly reflected in its deeply metaphorical premise, with Chicory’s world literally and abruptly drained of color.
