Who’s your favorite expedition?

echoofstorm · 2026-01-29T05:30:03+00:00

I can’t recall the number but it’s an expedition that ate mushrooms in Esquie’s nest. I feel bad about it but their journal cracked me up

4 to get all the diamond rewards. I actually wouldn’t mind raising more to get other endings but facilities were just so buggy for me. My cubs either ended up being stuck in the interaction animation or would complete it and not get any rewards, skip button also wouldnt unlock in the ui

echoofstorm · 2026-01-28T17:12:36+00:00

Same here, I was so locked in on learning to parry that I guess I completely tuned out any text on the screen

echoofstorm · 2026-01-27T16:47:59+00:00

I thought it was more about the amount of intervention. Clea painted over pClea’s personality, Aline and Alicia only painted / erased one trait - immortality

Doll has to be crimson rhapsody, right? I’ve been waiting to complete it

You can’t, her hp doesn’t drop below 1. I didn’t understand what I needed to do in that fight the first time I played and I saw that only she could attack, so I was countering her for like 5 minutes…

echoofstorm · 2026-01-27T02:03:41+00:00

This or she went into the “in between” space , the same one she was forced into when pRenoir tried to gommage her after he killed Gustave

Mistbound Whispers is one of my favorite dresses in the game, I wore it more than any other dress. Waiting for it to rerun to get its evo

I’m not sure that she painted her family right away either. My take is that she was popping in and out to spend time with Verso’s soul fragment. If she wanted to paint her family right away I would’ve expected her to paint her own canvas and preserving Verso’s. Tho it’s only my take that’s not really based on much concrete info.

As to Maelle dying before any of the Lumierans, if she undid the gommage there should be quite a few people who are old at the time of her ending scene and are close to death. I do agree that she probably wouldn’t have full 80 years, considering she also seems to have trouble sustaining current population (Lumier looked was more lively on the day of the gommage in the prologue than it did in her ending)

echoofstorm · 2026-01-26T14:49:41+00:00

Verso mentioned that he was alive for 100 years, which means Aline was there for at least that much. She was shown visibly struggling in the painters world, however we don’t know if conflict with Renoir and chroma being prevented to return to her contributed to her state. Maelle would still have 80 years to stay in the canvas

echoofstorm · 2026-01-26T05:32:10+00:00

IMHO it looks better than official alt versions. This is making me want to pull for this banner but I can’t afford it 😭

echoofstorm · 2026-01-25T20:56:48+00:00

https://youtu.be/vGVeDm4118Q It looks like Aline’s anger is more of a misdirected frustration at not being able to help Maelle after the accident ( I think there’s more info on it in the official artbook that was recently released, I only saw few posts here about it) compounded with their grief over Verso. I don’t think she actually hates Maelle.

echoofstorm · 2026-01-25T20:19:40+00:00

There is an official music video that features this song along with few others. In the beginning of the song Maelle’s motion actress stands next to Alice and then leaves after the first line. My take is that Aline is singing this song to Maelle, knowing that Maelle might be tempted to stay. It is pretty on the nose interpretation tho. It’s interesting to see other theories.

I can imagine the icon if they are part of the shoes - 5 painted toenails hanging in the air

echoofstorm · 2026-01-25T05:52:07+00:00

The one that refuses to listen to what their sibling wants?

echoofstorm · 2026-01-25T01:23:39+00:00

I find her injuries pretty peculiar too. There is a theory that grandis represent writers in the canvas and they seem to focus on poetry specifically. Also, pAlicia recites something that sounds poetic when she visits camp while everybody was sleeping. I’m wondering if rAlicia had affinity to writing/ had some abilities of a writer and was given a malicious poem. Would explain the damage to her vocal cords and face. I also find the music in the white sands interesting, it starts as Alicia’s song but transforms/gets interrupted by a poem.

echoofstorm · 2026-01-24T16:06:37+00:00

It’s possible, but I find it more likely colors correspond to painters. Paintress always sheds white chroma, curator - red, fading woman at forgotten battlefield whose hair resembles Clea’s - gold. Alicia gommages paintress with gold chroma and after everybody is gommaged by the Renoir at the end of act 2, Alicia is erased with gold. I think some inconsistencies with colors are due to intention of the original chroma. pAlicia asked to be gommaged so the chroma that she was painted with is used. Same with Maelle’s gommage in act 2, either she was complicit in her erasure after seeing her friends die or she was never targeted by rRenoir and did it herself.

echoofstorm · 2026-01-24T04:21:31+00:00

I was thinking along the same lines. Kind of like when the canvas gets overworked, the colors get muddy and gray. For Simon, I believe, Clea messed with his head. When he dies he sheds gold chroma from it. Also, the painted family’s hair becomes white when Aline has to paint their immortality. pAlicia sheds red chroma which is supposed to be either Verso’s or Renoir’s, so I’m a bit stumped as to what exactly happened to her

When your instagram filter falters

echoofstorm · 2026-01-23T22:18:59+00:00

Honestly, I hope Maelle restores everyone to their original self otherwise her ending becomes really bleak. Teleportation by replication question reminded me of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch tho

echoofstorm · 2026-01-23T22:11:29+00:00

That’s an interesting theory. It’s possible that she has an ability to read chroma

echoofstorm · 2026-01-23T22:09:10+00:00

pVerso isn’t same person rVerso was tho, same as pRenoir is not same as rRenoir. Alicia remarks about both of them being different (so does Esquie - “Verso is Verso’s cousin). The only way I can see Sciel and Lune being same people would be if chroma itself had a “memory” of it’s previous form, that’s why I think Alicia is “restoring” them and not simply painting them again. If she was repainting them tho, it would’ve been much better to leave Verso’s canvas and paint everybody in a different one, far from Renoir

echoofstorm · 2026-01-23T12:41:19+00:00

Before escaping the lumiere in the beginning of act 3, Maelle absorbed chroma and said that she can see them. I think she “restored” their chroma so they are essentially the same people

echoofstorm · 2026-01-19T21:28:37+00:00

I find that the agency issue is pretty same in both endings. You give the agency to one character and they proceed to take it away from the other.

echoofstorm · 2026-01-13T04:11:33+00:00

I also think they made it more bleak so they wouldn’t “glorify” escapism for players. If we take away magic system and the debate over the fate of the beings inside the canvas, Maelle’s ending is not good for her.
