The faded world
The Dark Ruler has banished all colors from the world. What is left looks bleached: grass, wood and paths keep a hint of their color but look almost gray. Black, white and grays stay as they are.
The three guardians
Three guardians hold the primary colors red, green and blue. Every color the hero wins back opens a new area and makes its hues visible in the world again. The order of the guardians is not fixed yet. How the colors work in detail is described under color channels.
What stays in color
A few things stand out in full color in the pale world, so you spot them at once:
- the hero, your character
- enemies, including the guardians
- items that matter to the story
- in the prototype, the color shrines: walk up to a shrine and its color returns to the world
- the displays at the edge of the screen (HUD)
This page describes the prototype. Whatever changes on the way to the finished game will be added here.
