Play It Now on

World

Expedition 33 immerses players in a haunting, surreal world where beauty and peril intertwine. The journey begins on the remote island of Lumière, a place of Belle Époque elegance and Art Deco splendor, yet shadowed by a creeping dread. Here, the mysterious Paintress, a godlike entity, marks the fate of the island’s citizens. Each year she reveals a number, and anyone who has reached that age disappears in an event called the Gommage, leaving only whispers of their existence. As the countdown reaches 33, a small band of volunteers, the Expedition 33, sets out to confront her and end this cycle of loss. Their path leads across striking landscapes: mist‑shrouded forests, abandoned villages, and the eerie Island of Visages, each holding secrets of vanished generations. Players navigate a world alive with surreal adversaries, hidden relics, and remnants of failed expeditions, where every choice carries emotional weight. The architecture, art, and atmosphere reflect a civilization obsessed with beauty yet haunted by mortality. Darkness and wonder coexist, offering breathtaking vistas alongside tragic reminders of lives consumed by the Paintress’s curse. Exploration, discovery, and survival blend seamlessly as players confront both the enigmatic being and the consequences of human ambition. Expedition 33 challenges players to uncover hidden truths, navigate a visually mesmerizing yet ominous world, and decide the fate of a civilization teetering between artistry and annihilation.a

Story

In Expedition 33, players follow a fragile group of volunteers chosen for a perilous mission: to confront the enigmatic Paintress and end her annual curse, the Gommage, which erases lives when she reveals her deadly number. The story centers on the expedition members, each marked by past loss, fear, and hope. Among them is Elara, a determined scholar seeking to preserve knowledge of the vanished; Marek, a stoic soldier driven by duty; and Lyra, an artist haunted by the disappearance of her family. Together, they journey from the cursed island of Lumière across surreal landscapes, including haunted forests, forgotten battlegrounds, and the eerie Island of Visages, uncovering secrets of previous expeditions and the Paintress’s origins. Players must navigate environmental hazards, solve intricate puzzles, and survive encounters with surreal, often hostile entities shaped by the world’s magic. Every choice affects the team’s survival, relationships, and the unfolding story. Objectives range from collecting artifacts, deciphering cryptic clues, and confronting the Paintress herself, to deciding whether to break the cycle of loss or succumb to it. The narrative weaves tragedy and hope, exploring themes of mortality, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit, as players shape the fate of the world and the expedition itself.
