Description
Descend into Splatland - the world of ColorBlend FX: Desaturation — a captivating mythical puzzle-platformer metroidvania that weaves a tale of glow, courage, and creativity. Join the Splatians as they unite to restore the stolen colors back to the world, challenging the nefarious schemes of the dark entity, Lord Ashen. Armed with determination, you'll dive into hours of non-linear narrative-driven single-player adventure with a variety of challenging puzzles, devices that react to colors, slimes that splatter you, deadly traps and visit unique places brimming with mystery and wonder.
History
ColorBlend FX: Desaturation is highly inspired by PeterSvP's all-time favorite games. Think like Super Mario meets Portal (without the portals) in a place that lacks color, then imbues some Limbo and Inside vibes, and puts in references to recent life events scaled to the apocalypse. Humanity is extinct and the planet is inhabited by potato gnomes that believe in a fictional religion! Then the envious evil creature, Lord Ashen, the project Desaturation, finds out Splatian's technology progress and causes a colorpocalypse!
