This story didn’t have anything to do with Monroe and his life, but instead felt like a new fairytale, which was lovely to follow and explore. These balloons are optional and can be used to purchase toys on the main menu, but what really drew me into the game and kept me playing was these story pages, telling me about a king who didn’t want to give the world color.

These worlds do still have puzzles - paddles that need to be shot at, strange areas that need to be moved towards and balloons to collect. After you get through the all white world, you will end up in a world with shadows and then a world fully in color. The story is beautifully narrated, telling you about why the world is white and introducing the next areas, as you move through the story. Soon, however, you can start to see a few different things gold swan footprints, gold accents to the world and large letters, that can then be painted to reveal a story. These splotches do stay where you end up painting, defining a world. At first, the world is completely white, but you are able to throw paint splotches to see what is around you. Following the swan through this whimsical world is something I have enjoyed doing.
