Details

Overview

By The Sea: Pilgrimage of the Colorless is a meditative walking simulator from indie developer Dong5love Studio, released on November 1, 2026.

There is no rush here—the experience is designed to reward patience and stillness.

Highlights

Set within Monet's art: The environments are directly inspired by the Impressionist master's works, with a soft, painterly aesthetic that feels like walking through a living canvas.
A story of loss and remembrance: You play as a soldier returning from the Great War, carrying his wife's ashes on a final pilgrimage to scatter them at the sea. The narrative unfolds through the scenery, with memories glowing as you pause and observe.
Full controller support and family sharing: The game supports gamepads, Remote Play on TV, and Family Sharing, making it easy to enjoy on a couch or share with loved ones.

Who It's For
