## What is Désiré?

Désiré is a poetic point-and-click adventure game in black and white.

When the schoolteacher asks Désiré why he didn't draw the sun like the other pupils, he replies spontaneously: « It's always night in my head. »

Désiré is colour-blind from birth and he will lead you into in world of black and white. He marches on hesitantly, as life never brought him much joy. From a tender age, he is going to meet several characters who will elicit in Désiré intense emotions and alter his vision in surprising ways. Is colour at the end of the road?

The game is, at its core, a critique of the modern world and of the perverting nature of a consumer, profit-obsessed society.

The game contains 4 chapters, 50+ scenes, 40+ characters and a lot of riddles.

### 5/5 — bellissimo

*2025-08-09, version 1.0.32*

molto bello pieno di poesia :anche se il mondo à pieno di porcherie e privo di emozioni sono proprio queste , una volta ritrovate, che alla fine salveranno la vita  non più monocromatica di Desirè

### 5/5 — Désirée

*2024-12-15*

Vraiment cool ! Dommage que ce soit pas si long.

### 5/5 — очень крутая игра

*2024-08-27, version 1.0.32*

почитала негативные отзывы и все пишут про лгбт и нудный геймплей.

игра спокойная, этим она мне и нравится, вау, гг гей 🙂‍↕️ 
как же мы, с нашими традиционными ценностями, это переживем?😱
боже, главный смысл же не в этом, сюжет интересный, но диалоги действительно иногда достаточно затянутые, а так все супер

### 1/5 — I loved this game but iOS version doesn’t work

*2024-07-06, version 1.0.32*

I played this game a couple times years ago on android but this version is buggy and won’t prompt the character to make an appointment with the psychiatrist

### 2/5 — Was all about it until …

*2023-09-13, version 1.0.32*

You get to a point in 2011 where you cannot continue because the inventory menu  blocks the item that you need to interact with. The game is definitely one that gives you something to think about. If you’re prude, easily offended or just super critical emotionally. This game ain’t for you. I had a great play through until that glitch :(

### 4/5 — bug！！！

*2022-11-25, version 1.0.32*

Display error of simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese！
简体中文、繁体中文显示错误！

### 5/5 — Mi juego fav

*2022-09-15, version 1.0.32*

Es excelente todo, la historia me encanta

### 5/5 — Просто изумителььная игра

*2022-05-22, version 1.0.32*

Это моя лучшая находка. Интересный, трогательный сюжет, много персонажей, красивая графика, юмор. проходишь с персонажем весь жизненный путь ( от детства до старости), переходный возраст, издевательства в школе, первая любовь. Какого жить в чернобелом мире с рождения?
Огромное спасибо разработчикам, что эта игра абсолютно бесплатная

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2022-03-05, version 1.0.32*

Starts well but then you get stuck .. conversation options to advance the game are missing, even going through a walkthrough leaves me stuck in 1992 with no options to move forward. A pity as the story and look of the game are good.

### 1/5 — Мошенники!

*2021-09-25, version 1.0.29*

Игра вылетает! И планшет перезагружал, и игру переустанавливал, все бестолку! Верните деньги!😡
