The upcoming game “Blanc” is about a wolf cub and a fawn who work together to find their way home. The coop game will be released in February 2023 on Steam and for Nintendo Switch. Players are already reacting emotionally to the trailer and fearing a tragic ending.
What kind of game is Blanc? Blanc is a game about an animal friendship: A wolf cub and a fawn have gotten lost in a snowstorm. Now the two must work together to track the trails of their family members and find a way home.
Coop game in black and white
The game is designed in a black-and-white drawing style. The design was initially fully drawn in 2D on paper and then converted to 3D. Interestingly, there will be no text in the game, so players can fully immerse themselves in the animal world.
Together, players move through the snowy landscape. One player controls the deer and the other the wolf. There are obstacles in the game world that you will need to overcome. The coop works either locally on one screen or online.
Each of the two animal babies has its own strengths, allowing them to complement each other in gameplay. The controls are kept very simple and consist of movement and two additional buttons.
Will Blanc have a tragic ending?
What does the community say about the trailer for Blanc? The community finds the trailer very cute and celebrates the art style of the game. However, there is a concern expressed in several comments: users are afraid of a tragic ending and that their hearts might be broken.
Under the trailer on YouTube for the Nintendo Switch announcement, some write, for example:
- Curator: “It looks so enchanting, but also so much like it’s going to hit me right in the feels.”.
- wynnietheboo: “It looks cute, but I’m afraid something tragic will happen.”.
- Seth Swanson: “I swear, if the only color we get in this world is blood red, I will cry.”.
- Matt Smokes: “My heart won’t be able to take it. It looks stunning.”.
YouTube user Molonara even has a theory about how the game could end. However, if you’d prefer to come up with your own thoughts, you should not read any further at this point.
“It will end with the snow turning red and we’ll find out that the wolf’s parents killed the deer’s parents, right?
The logo even looks like it could be a wolf biting a deer, or a deer comforting a wolf (maybe their parents are also opposite colors, like black deer and white wolf). It looks like a cute game that I will definitely try out.”
When will Blanc be released? The game will be released on February 14, 2022, and will be available on Nintendo Switch and Steam.
