In 'Palette of the Lost', players embody Qwen, an aspiring painter who inadvertently gets pulled into a surreal painting world. As Qwen traverses through various art styles - from surrealism to abstract - they must solve artistic puzzles, interact with iconic art evocations, and rewrite their own narrative through choices that impact the visual landscapes around them. Balancing creativity with dramatic twists, players uncover hidden truths about the nature of art and the fine line between reality and imagination.
