Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a groundbreaking turn-based RPG with real-time mechanics, set in a fantasy world inspired by Belle Époque France. Lead the members of Expedition 33 on their final mission to destroy the Paintress, a being who erases lives by painting cursed numbers each year.
Blending turn-based strategy with real-time action, battles allow players to dodge, parry, and counter in the moment, chain attacks with precision timing, and freely target enemy weak points. Customize your team through gear, skills, stats, and character synergies to fit your strategy.
With only one year left to live, Gustave, Maelle, and their allies must uncover the fate of past expeditions and forge bonds strong enough to overcome impossible odds.
