How exactly did all these expedition teams get where they are?

Gaming trick

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 It has an interesting RPG storage system because players can discover flags from previous expedition teams. They can also give magazines that help to fill a world that can sometimes be fun, beyond the bright. Although unique, the places where these flags are placed sometimes make no sense.

For example, a big twist in the game takes the players back to Lumiere after Renoir perceives his uprising. Players will have to go through a destroyed city with expedition flags everywhere and never deal with how they got there if Renoir doesn't start to help Maelle. This is just one of many questions about the various locations of the flag and expedition teams.

Why was Alicia again Narn as Maelle?

It's the most absorbing SIM

Finally, it is set that Maelle or Alicia, because it is her real name, and her family can create worlds on canvas because they are painters. They can jump into these worlds by connecting their eyes with canvases in one of the more worrying situations of Isekai presented in modern media. They may exist in these worlds as they want, including birth from scratch.

For the current plot Clair Obscur: Expedition 33Alicia entered the image and instead of an existing as an adult she decided to be born and naturally grew up, which is how Maelle happened. This gave her amnesia in the process, which is one of the most bizarre and confusing things for the conspiracy, because it seemed that there was no point. It is also a bit strange that CLEA does not do much to help the Alice in the real world, which somehow is building with the bodies of her family and seemingly up for years.

Why does every camp look the same?

Are they in a pocket dimension?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 He pays great attention to the details with all its locations, from the early phases, such as spring meadows to later phases, such as Sirene. When players enter the turn -based battle, this area reflects in the fight instead of repetition of the same general background. The developer did not have to do it, but it is refreshing to see.

One of the areas where this detail fails is the party's camp, because it is always the same place that doesn't really make sense. The only way to add up is, if they entered a pocket dimension similar to the estate working because the door is in the world. Is what's going on in the camp?

How do Lumiere people live?

Life outside Gommage

Idea Clair Obscur: Expedition 33The world, before the revelation that it is just a painted world, seems to be miserable. How much do Lumiere people have to work on crops or explore? Do they have fish ships so that they can at least eat well, but there are other islands that can pass without going to the dark coast and hugging the unpleasant land of Pailtress?

Do people go to the dark coast to explore before the expedition teams set out for Gommages? It is hard to imagine what people do all day, even if you can apply for any company from things like video games, phones and television. Either way, it is good that the game did not spend too much time in Lumiere before leaving the players to get into the tensile event, but leaving a lot of questions on the table.

Can painted creations leave your canvas?

TRON: Heritage Theory

In the original Tron, a person from the real world can go to a computer thanks to a special laser. The same thing happens in Tron: Legacy, but with an end reversal revealing that digitized people from a computer can enter the real world. So it can happen the same Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Can a painted creature like Lune or Monoco leave?

In the course of the game, this will not become a player's knowledge, but it seems possible because the magic of painters is never completely revealed. What exactly can they do? Are painters only in France? How many are there? Questions continue and further. It is good that the idea of ​​more painters has been left until the second half of the game, because it sets up for many potential sequels and spinoffs. This still does not help players who want to learn more about these forces.

Who are the writers?

The fire that started it all

The game opens Gommage, which is a heartbreaking witness, but is quite well organized. It looks like Pailress is an omnipotent being until players learn about other small ones. While their forces are still secret, as already mentioned, in the game several times for a light group with a fairy tale several times: writers. So who or what are the writers? Is the world divided into two supernatural fractions that compete for power in Paris?

What happens to the rest of the world, probably sometime in the 20th century? There are too many unanswered questions left again, which is exciting because it is frustrating for players who want to learn more. The only thing they know is that the writers somehow burned the house of the Dessendre family, who was scarred and killed by the Alice and killed Verso. They “wrote” the fire to existence, like Alan Wake in his title series, can he turn words into reality? Now there is a crossing, no one would see.
