About this game

Désiré is a poetic point-and-click adventure game in black and white.

When the schoolteacher asks Désiré why he didn't draw the sun like the other pupils, he replies spontaneously: « It's always night in my head. »

Désiré is colour-blind from birth and he will lead you into in world of black and white. He marches on hesitantly, as life never brought him much joy. From a tender age, he is going to meet several characters who will elicit in Désiré intense emotions and alter his vision in surprising ways. Is colour at the end of the road?

The game is, at its core, a critique of the modern world and of the perverting nature of a consumer, profit-obsessed society.

The game contains 4 chapters, 50+ scenes, 40+ characters and a lot of riddles.

« Ah... dear fellow traveller... I am so happy to meet you and to travel with you along this rocky path to let a surprising story unfold. Do not be too quick to judge! At least not before you know how it ends. This story is both rough and delicate... as repulsive as it is endearing... melancholy and joyful... but most of all, it is a tale that is deeply human and profoundly singular. So let me introduce this young, colour blind boy who, from birth, has only ever perceived the world in black and white. Colours, to him, are as abstract as faith to the atheist. Yet, they plagued his dreams, night and day! This boy's name is Désiré and his life path will surely surprise you. But enough chit-chat! Go and find out for yourself... »

The game concept is good and parts of the storyline are interesting and moving. Personally I was uncomfortable with some of the tasks early on that tackled issues that really shouldn't be dropped into a computer game I don't think. That said, the graphics were good and it's great to go back to a point and click. Loved the little Easter eggs that speak to my age group. I didn't like the UI which felt clumsy to use with the inventory that opens with tap and hold. You don't know where to tap and hold or that you need to do this. Overall I stopped playing after the 1992 section as it was becoming increasingly unclear what the objective actually was.

This is a beautiful game, very well written, and with a lot more content than I expected to see in a free game. This game has it all, neat graphics, great storyline, sweet music, pathos, humour, and even touched on some profound and ocassionally disturbing topics with outvgoung full woke. I found the characters to be very relatable. My only criticism would be that I sometimes found myself moving the character around while tring to click on the items menu. Great game!

Great concept & art. Bad English transl. Bad ctrls: touch doesn't correspond to the items selected. The 'keys' are too subtle for mobile (at least let him say "I need Dad's keys somewhere" so we can be sure it wasn't in him the whole time. Also, what's the pt. of locking something if the keys are accessible anyways?). Even though I got the poster and all, when Dad's out to talk to the aunt and I use the keys into the cupboard no matter how quick, it still says I need more time… I can't progress.
