Chicory: A Colorful Tale

Chicory: A Colorful Tale (formerly Drawdog) is an adventure indie game created by Greg Lobanov.

Story
The Brush is an artifact that can color the world. The current wielder of the brush, Chicory, went missing along with the all the colors in Picnic Province. It's up to Pizza, Chicory's number one fan, to wield the brush and restore peace.

Gameplay
The game is a top-down RPG, where the player can use the brush to color the environment and solve puzzles. Completing quests and advancing in the story will provide paint abilities and collectible clothing.

Development
After releasing Wandersong, Greg Lobanov wanted to create a project about art, in the same way Wandersong was about music. After creating some prototypes in 2018, he would create a team of friends, including Em Halberstadt who worked on Wandersong, Lena Raine, a composer for Celeste, and Alexis Dean-Jones and Madeline Berger who were both local artists in Vancouver.

They would later announce the project in January 2019 as "Drawdog". The project would officially launch on Kickstarter on August 15, 2019, and was funded completely in one day. The Kickstarter ended on September 14, 2019, with 2,342 backers pledging $84,327.

On February 24, 2020, the Chicory team would partner with Finji to publish the game on Steam.

Release
A demo of the game was released on Steam as a limited-time event along with 11 other games for The Game Award's Game Festival on December 2019.
