The Nintendo Indie World Showcase just wrapped up and we got a launch window for charming watercolor adventure Dordogne.
Due to come to Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in the Spring next year Dordogne is the sort of typically alluring indie that doesn’t need to say a whole lot to have our attention during the aforementioned Nintendo stream. While plenty of roguelike and top down titles always manage to make their way into this mix of unusual and off the wall, Dordogne is a heartfelt story of childhood memories, love, and southern France.
featuring Mimi, a young woman in search of her lost childhood memories, this gorgeous watercolour tale might remind you of Gris but we’re hoping it isn’t quite as tragic. The idyllic French countryside setting of Dordogne is hand-painted in vibrant pastel watercolors and expands into 3 dimensions as players explore a world between childhood and adulthood, where one’s desires and regrets echo lost dreams and fears.
We can’t wait to try this out, having loved Gris and Behind the Frame, both of which lean heavily into an artistic aesthetic. If you’re not convinced by my words then its probably worth checking out the beautiful new trailer and heading over to the official Steam Store page to find out more.
