Désiré Full Walkthrough (Text only)

Désiré is a point and click mobile app following a colour-blind guy throughout stages of his life. It portrays a lot of his self thoughts and his journey towards finding colours.

There are altogether 4 parts of his life that you will be adventuring: 1992, 2003, 2011, and 2020.

1992 shows his childhood about how he pranked his bully as revenge and where he met a mysterious sailorman (who will turn out to be a key character in the game
2003 depicts his lack of conscience and desperation in scoring a relationship but failing badly
2011 explains his search for his friend, which did not end too well
2020 ends the series with somewhat involuntary self-acceptance of himself

It's not exactly the happiest game you can play, but the sometimes illogical and unpredictable storyline grips your attention and makes you just want to continue and find out what's next. It's not so intense like the usual escape room apps, but it is good enough for me to write a review on it.

Took me 2 days (excluding working hours) to complete this game.
