Expedition 33 is a prestige drama set in a surreal, slightly gothic 3D landscape.

Tonally it's drenched in melodrama, and visually it’s reminiscent of Game of Thrones.

The realm of Lumière has been consumed by a powerful being called the Paintress .

Expedition 33 is a turn-based JRPG game with clear JRPG influences, but it adds a twist to the traditional battle system: quick-time prompts.

Quick-time elements infuse the familiar JRPG loop with a twitchy kind of clarity, adding a few extra dopamine hits to the classic press-and-wait rhythm.

The game's dreamlike feeling only crystallizes in Flying Waters , a region that looks and behaves as if it’s at the bottom of the ocean.
