Gommage is one of Clair Obscur's most daring ideas

In the lead Clair Obscur: Expedition 33Edition and in most marketing materials represented the Gommage concept prominently. The term is French for “disappear” or “delete”, and that is exactly what happens to those that interfere in the story. At the beginning of the adventure, the impressive and devious character of God's character Pailresses on his giant monolith, which calls the citizens of Lumiere the age of those he will focus on this year. Visually, Gommage resembles Thanos of MCU, and the characters break down into the dust of the petals when they disappear from existence. The stopping of this disturbing process is the initial impulse for the title expedition.

When the party is missing, they eventually break the truth behind Gommage through their interactions with Renoir and Verses dessend and come face to face with the palette itself. The whole world is in fact a magical image, and most of the characters are fictitious creations maintained by alive palette, revealed as Aline Desendre, Renoir's wife and Versoin's mother. Aline's grief over Vers's death in the real world overwhelmed her, which made her retreat to the canvas world to retain his memory. The number of monoliths was not a threat, at least that was previously interpreted. It was a desperate warning ALINE that as her forces weakened, it was the maximum age of painted people who could continue to maintain.

Sandall showed an impressive level of creativity, and if it disappears on this frame, the sequel could show what inner worlds created by the writers, complemented by the Gommage equivalent. While the fans could then know in advance that it is a false reality, the exact display could vary significantly from what has been shown, and seeing both sides entering mutual creations trying to enact their own Gommage versions against each other in the proxy.

Another way to explore it further Clair Obscur The continuation could be the division of conspiracy between the right reality and inside the other worlds, with events in one rippling of the other, especially in the case of a similar gommage element. Either way, with the fact that it is such an internal part Clair Obscur: Expedition 33There are plenty of interesting rooms that will expand in this aspect, and it will be exciting to see what Sandall is doing with it in the future.
