Curyeux

Could use another patch update/bug fix, about a year after release and it doesn't look like the bug at the forest level was fixed as I picked this game up recently and just ran into it today when I was trying to continue from where I left off. It's like I still have my stuff but the way to the forest level is blocked off so it's like I have to start all over. Maybe I'll come back to this game when I'm ready to do it all over again but it is a bit demotivating so although it's not a bad game I can't recommend it in this state. Also some of the later puzzles were a little annoying and the occasional lag/certain camera angles did not help that. It's a shame because I was planning to finish this game and wanted to use it as language immersion. Oh yeah and some of the achievements don't proc either.

A simple, but beautiful platformer. The story that is told is a really heartfelt one. Short and sweet, def a good play.

Curyeux is a beautiful little puzzle platformer that I immediately liked because of its dreamlike presentation. I play as Lucienne, a troubled painter who moves through emotional memories represented by strange paintings. I found the idea of exploring someone's mind through an artistic platforming world really appealing, especially because the visuals are clearly connected to the character's emotions. The platforming is straightforward but satisfying. I move through colorful environments, jump across obstacles and work through puzzle sections where appearances can be misleading. I liked that the game does not simply rely on precise platforming. I also have to understand how the world is behaving and pay attention to visual clues to figure out how to progress. The puzzles are probably the most interesting part for me. Shapes and objects can behave differently from what I initially expect, so I have to question what I am seeing. I enjoyed the feeling of slowly understanding a room rather than simply searching for the correct button. The emotional theme also gives the puzzles more meaning because the environments feel connected to Lucienne's memories. The art style is easily the st…

good with some minor issues with the subtitles and the frame rate

Curyeux is a creative third-person puzzle-platforming adventure that uses painting, memories, and shifting perspectives to tell a personal story. Developed by Campus ADN 2024-2025 and published by Campus ADN, it follows Lucienne Grégoire, a painter whose journey takes place through unusual worlds shaped by her memories and emotions. Instead of building its identity around combat or complicated progression systems, the game focuses on exploration, environmental puzzles, accessible platforming, and visual storytelling. It feels closer to an interactive artistic experience than a conventional action-adventure game, which gives it an immediately recognizable personality. The visual presentation is easily one of its most interesting qualities. Lucienne travels through environments that resemble paintings brought to life, with sketches, colorful surfaces, abstract structures, and surreal arrangements creating the impression that the player is moving through unfinished pieces of artwork. Different visual ideas help communicate changes in mood and memory, making the scenery an important part of the narrative rather than simple decoration. There is an intentionally dreamlike quality to the…

Not the most polished game, but it's definitely a fun way to spend an hour or two. It tells a simple but engaging story, and the fact that it's free makes it even easier to recommend.
