Gameplay[]

The plot revolves around the protagonist, Hue, searching for his mother (voiced by Anna Acton) who turned an 'impossible colour' due to the fracturing of the Annular Spectrum, a ring that she developed to allow perception and alteration of colour. During this journey, the player searches through a black-and-white world, collecting shards of the Annular Spectrum, which will allow the player to make obstacles disappear by switching to the corresponding colour on the colour wheel. This in turn reveals new pathways and puzzles.^[6] As the player progresses, collecting more shards and unlocking more colours, the game's difficulty increases with more colours being needed to complete puzzles. The eight colours are unlocked in the following order: aqua, purple, orange, pink, blue, red, yellow, and lime.
