About this game

Désiré is a poetic point-and-click adventure game in black and white.

When the schoolteacher asks Désiré why he didn't draw the sun like the other pupils, he replies spontaneously: « It's always night in my head. »

Désiré is colour-blind from birth and he will lead you into in world of black and white. He marches on hesitantly, as life never brought him much joy. From a tender age, he is going to meet several characters who will elicit in Désiré intense emotions and alter his vision in surprising ways. Is colour at the end of the road?

The game is, at its core, a critique of the modern world and of the perverting nature of a consumer, profit-obsessed society.

The game contains 4 chapters, 50+ scenes, 40+ characters and a lot of riddles.

« Ah... dear fellow traveller... I am so happy to meet you and to travel with you along this rocky path to let a surprising story unfold. Do not be too quick to judge! At least not before you know how it ends. This story is both rough and delicate... as repulsive as it is endearing... melancholy and joyful... but most of all, it is a tale that is deeply human and profoundly singular. So let me introduce this young, colour blind boy who, from birth, has only ever perceived the world in black and white. Colours, to him, are as abstract as faith to the atheist. Yet, they plagued his dreams, night and day! This boy's name is Désiré and his life path will surely surprise you. But enough chit-chat! Go and find out for yourself... »

Good enough story though felt like some parts were too adultish for a 12 year old's experience. But Seriously I want to give a negative star. I completed until 2011, and even collected some stuff in 2020, but no matter what it never proceeded so I closed the game to start next day and guess what? It brought me back to the absolute beginning. A whole day's progress lost like that. I had to delete the game without even completing the whole thing. I wish I could play from 2020 but alas

Beautiful artistic game with plenty of messages and dots to connect. I reflected through it on different elements of life within my lens. I would suggest fixing the problem with accessing the backpack. It causes Désiré to walk to the right instead which was bothersome. Keeping it on top at all times would be better. Nevertheless, great work by all those who contributed to the creation of this masterpiece. Bravo 👏

Hi Sylvain and co., thank you for offering us this intriguing and heart warming story for free and even without any ads. I am a person who demands singular clarity in life. Everything needs to serve a purpose and every question must be answered in the end. However those works of literature that really stimulate me and stay on my mind are the ones that leave many open ends and questions for me to ponder by myself. This was one of those stories. Love it.
