What kind of game is this? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 aims to be a classic JRPG at its core, but expands the genre with real-time elements. The game features a fantasy setting inspired by the French Belle Époque (“beautiful era”), which began in the 1870s and ended in 1914.

The world is haunted by a deadly painter. Once a year, she awakens and paints a number on her monolith, causing everyone of that age to turn to dust on the spot. The next number is 33, and it is your task to ensure that it was the last number.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 not only catches attention with its slick graphics but also with a high-profile cast. The developers revealed this in a new trailer:
