Arto

Arto is an action RPG set in a colorless world where the power of the six gods is fading, and the world is fading with them. As an Apostle blessed by a dying god, you return color with every step and explore a hostile world to uncover the cause of the cataclysm. Your choices shape a branching story that can lead the world toward salvation or further destruction.

Restore color

You use the Paint Arrow, a boon granted by your god at the start of the journey. As you progress, you unlock traits for it and experiment with colorful projectile spells. Spells can home in on targets, splatter and knock back waves of enemies, or surround you with protective paint orbs. More than 80 combinations let you customize how the system works.

Shape your combat

You unlock abilities including double and triple dashes, a parry and a counterattack, along with unique weapons that can be upgraded. Your weapon choice sets the pace of combat, from close-range or ranged attacks to slow, tactical fighting or blinding speed. You can also switch weapons mid-combo using a radial menu.

Explore and choose

You encounter varied enemies and can take on optional bosses. Environmental clues reveal more about the cataclysm, while helping the world's quirky inhabitants with tasks can instill hope in them. A branching dialogue system lets you shape your personality, and how you deal with other Apostles in their territories affects the ending. Not everyone you meet wants you to restore color.
