Step into a hand-painted watercolour village in this impressive indie adventure

Peachy paintings take time. And while the artists behind the beautiful watercolour dangerous undertaking Dordogne had planned to turn this year, the lovingly hand-painted adventure will at present release in 2022.

I first spotted Dordogne back when I penned Rock Paper Shotgun's weekly screenshots column, stunned by illustrator Cedric Babouche's ability to turn layers of painted watercolour into a inundated 3D world. It's flown quietly since and then, popping up at Wholesome Address showcases, with plans to sack former this Autumn.

But spell in that location's been no formal announcement, this week GameInformer spotted that Dordogne has been picked up past Focussing Entertainment (formerly Direction Home Interactional). The publisher's listing for game immediately lists a release on October 5th, 2022—more or less a full year future than motivated.

Dordogne wants to tell a warm, intimate story of Miniskirt, a woman in her 30s visiting the home of her recently-passed grandmother. You play as a 10-year-old version of Mimi exploring misty, spirited memories, rendered just about dreamlike by the watercolour visuals.

It's a pitching that'll be made or impoverished by that gorgeous artwork. And if it takes the developer a trifle while longer to paint a everlasting motion picture, I'm more than than happy to wait another year.
