Palette of Despair

Game Introduction

This is a black-and-white style text adventure game where the simple color palette creates a chilling atmosphere. Players are trapped in a painted world and must survive seven days alongside a mysterious girl. Only during these seven nights can you search for various clues to save yourself from the current predicament. If you fail to uncover the truth behind the eerie events within the allotted time, you will die from the curse.


This is a story where you must spend seven cursed days with the girl in the painting. As the protagonist, you are trapped in a dimly lit basement. You must use the records of past victims to add color to her portrait. If you add a color she dislikes, you will immediately enter a bad ending.
