In this episode of Unskippable Dialogue, we dive headfirst into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the stylish, surreal, turn-based RPG that’s taken the gaming world, and the President of France, by storm. Set in a Belle Époque-inspired world where anyone over the age of 33 gets poofed into oblivion, this breakout hit from indie French studio Sandfall Interactive blends rich storytelling, real-time dodging, and the prettiest puppet combat this side of Montmartre.
We talk gameplay mechanics (turn-based meets reflexes), graphics so good they make your PS5 sweat, and a voice cast featuring Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Jennifer English (Baldur’s Gate 3), and the king of mo-cap himself, Andy Serkis. Expect discussion on the game’s quirky humour, emotional storytelling, and wild combat system.
If you’re into JRPGs, action hybrids, or just fancy hearing Irish gamers wax lyrical about beautifully lit corridors and existential puppets, this is the episode for you.
