Lead the members of Expedition 33 on their quest to destroy the Paintress so that she can never paint death again. Explore a world of wonders inspired by Belle Époque France and battle unique enemies in this turn-based RPG with real-time mechanics.
Once a year, the Paintress awakens and paints her cursed number on the monolith.
And everyone of that age turns to smoke, fading into nothing.
With each passing year, the number falls. More are erased. Soon, she will wake and paint “33.” And we will embark on our final mission—to destroy the Paintress and end her cycle of death, forever.
We are Expedition 33.

Gustave (voiced by Charlie Cox, Daredevil: Born Again) is a resourceful engineer. Growing up under the Paintress’ shadow in Lumière, he has devoted his life to safeguarding the city. With his final year ticking away, Gustave is ready to risk it all—fighting to defeat the Paintress and reclaim a future for Lumière's children.

Maelle (voiced by Jennifer English, Baldurs Gate 3) is a shy loner, eager to fly. Orphaned as a child, she has always felt like an outsider in Lumière. Her only connection is with Gustave, her foster brother. Now, at 16—the youngest of the Expedition—Maelle sees this as her chance to escape Lumière and explore the world beyond.
[quote]“She’s the epitome of a dream character for me - captivating, intricately layered, exquisitely written.” - Jennifer English on Maelle[/quote]

Lune (voiced by Kirsty Rider, Sandman) is a brilliant scholar and mage. The daughter of renowned researchers, she has sacrificed everything to continue their work. Her one goal is to unravel the mystery of the Paintress. She cannot, and will not, allow the Expedition to fail.
[quote]“Lune has a real drive to her, and she’s clear about her purpose, which was instilled by her parents from a young age. She’s got this power that radiates from her, but she has vulnerabilities too. I also like her witty put downs, and how she knows how to put the men in their place.” - Kirsty Rider on Lune [/quote]

Sciel (voiced by Shala Nyx, The Old Guard) is a calm, cheerful warrior. Once a farmer and now a teacher, Sciel embraces every day with joy, masking the pain of a tragic past. She accepts the cruelty of their world, yet her smile hides unspoken scars. While failure doesn't faze her, she remains fiercely committed to the Expedition's success.
[quote]“I was particularly drawn to Sciel’s wisdom, sense of play, wonder and gratitude, her ability to have this light and playful side despite her deeply melancholic past. I really appreciated her resourceful and philosophical nature, how she remains open to new ways of thinking and how she can use that tool of creativity to help herself and others around her.” - Shala Nyx on Sciel [/quote]

Renoir (voiced by Andy Serkis, The Lord of the Rings, Black Panther) is a man driven by ruthless determination. His sole focus is saving his family, but beneath that fierce exterior lies deep, agonizing loss. Renoir knows that victory demands sacrifice—and he’s ready to pay any price.

Verso (voiced by Ben Starr, Final Fantasy XVI) is a mysterious, dangerous stranger. His motives are unclear, but he’s tracking the Expedition’s every move.
[quote]“The moral ambiguity of Verso was so immediately enticing. He’s such a darkly mysterious character. As an actor, it was so appealing to be able to explore his subtle yet simmering dramatic inner life with the amount of freedom that the Sandfall team gave me.” - Ben Starr on Verso [/quote]
We aren’t done unveiling characters to you yet - Rich Keeble voices a (in his own words) “Loyal, eloquent, terrifying” character that you will meet in good time… 😊. Devora Wilde and Tracy Wiles (also Baldur's Gate 3 alumni) also voice some fantastic characters – so stay tuned!
