But some of the most beautiful things are lovely because they’re so transient, hm? Death Palette, or Matsuro Palette, is a great concept of a game that is engaging in spite of it’s rather short stem of a story.
But what a story it was, hm? A short, sweet, tragic, but wonderfully delivered and soulful mystery that brings this game to five stars for my first ever app review. I can only hope that the creator goes on to continue to weave emotion and soul into their stories, characters, and moments. In spite of the many tears I may shed along the way.
And in spite of it’s short length, it’s difficult to say whether a game of this sort would benefit from a longer story or runtime - but the idea of a much longer tale paired with such an interactive and colorful mechanic as a “paint your own adventure” is an appetizing concept, to say the least!
There are still many extras to discover after you have completed the story, and I would recommend that. I would also recommend supporting the artist, as I do now.
Have fun painting! And be sure to peel the apple…
