Dordogne caught my eye a few years ago, shortly after I started watercolor painting. His art is an example of everything I love about this medium – the ethereal softness of ink, the involuntary nature of water. I followed his evolution on its developer livestreams, watching his artists construct the French countryside with paint. But now, after several years of development, Dordogne has a release date.
Publisher Focus Entertainment and developers Umanimation and Une je ne sais quoi announced on Tuesday that Dordogne will be released on June 13 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Windows PC via Steam.
Dordogne mixes both 3D animation and watercolor to create a narrative adventure game set in the French countryside. It centers on a woman named Mimi – she searches for her childhood memories, blending both her childhood and her adult life. The stunning trailer, released on Tuesday, shows off its beautiful aesthetic.
At the heart of it all seems to be the mystery of Mimi’s fuzzy memories, something that’s sure to be unraveled over the course of the adventure.
