色 Iro
A small spirit of light drifts through a grey, forgotten world. Wherever it passes, color returns. No combat, no timer, no score, no way to fail — wander a forest, a hamlet, a market town and the little houses within, and watch the world wake up around you.
About
A grey world, one bloom at a time
How it plays: every place starts in greyscale. Color blooms in a radius as you drift, and it never fades back. Glowing rings (anchors) finish a place; doors lead into small houses; a few spots off the road reward the curious. When a place is whole, the world answers — leaves stir, smoke rises, lamps glow.
What’s in it: a forest with a lake and a waterfall, a hamlet by a stream, a market town, four small interiors (a living room, a tavern, a kitchen, a bedroom), four seasons with their own weather, and a soundtrack that moves from sparse and distant to warm and close.
Before you begin you meet a line of old Japanese poetry or proverb about journeys. A different one each time.
Controls: W A S D or arrow keys to move, Shift to dash, M or Tab for a small menu to wander back anywhere, change the season or read the credits.
Credits: art by zedpxl (Forest, Village and Interior packs); the spirit is Pixel Spirit by akoro; music and sound from Ovani Sound, ELVGames and pegonthetrack; typeface Noto Sans JP (SIL OFL).
Play: free on itch.io — in your browser, about half an hour, in your own order.
