"Light and Shadow: Expedition Team No. 33" ending design is very tangled, and the actors' strength saves

Speaking about the two endings of the team's "simultaneous creation", Guillaume Broche, creative director of "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33", said: "I really like sad stories, so I didn't want any ending to be purely 'beautiful' from the beginning. I want both endings to have their own advantages and disadvantages."

These two endings made the player choose between "save the world in the painting (but let Mael fall into endless sadness)" and "sacrificing the world in the painting (but let Mael get rid of sadness)". At that time, I really made my heart tuck in half, and I also wrote a whole article specifically for this.

“I like the setting that there is no dialogue in the game,” Brosh said. “This leaves a lot of room for interpretation, and people can project their ideas into the ending. I think that’s very, very important.

"And this is also a unique advantage of the game - allowing players to make choices... In essence, this is an unsolvable choice. It's too complicated, with too many layers of good and bad... It's a story full of helplessness. People are swept by sadness and all kinds of trivial matters, and clearly out of good intentions, but they make a very wrong decision."

As for the design of the ending without dialogue throughout, Brosh said: "I know this is a bold attempt, but if you do it, you will completely smash it. Fortunately, the result is good, and I am very glad.

"I really like the scene where there is almost no dialogue - like the 'gommage' section. It is obviously one of the most important scenes, but only two lines. It is a very richest message with the least conversation. Although it is more difficult, it will feel more fulfilling if you do it well."

Brosh also revealed that two finale scenes were deleted in the final version.In one of the scenes, Mael and Virso are basically talking about each other - from a writing perspective alone, this is not necessarily a bad idea.In conversation, letting the characters speak their own words can express disputes, because this is often the case in reality.But for Light and Shadow, this design doesn't work.

"I thought the idea was great and innovative... and said 'It's okay, it will definitely work, believe me'. After doing the motion capture, I realized that it was terrible, it was really bad."

Mael's ending also had a major reversal in the production.They used the new version of the script first when recording, but the effect was not good, so he asked the character's motion capture actors Charlotte Hopfner and Maxans Cazzola to learn the old version of the script "on the spot".He added: "I really thank Charlotte and Maxans for only one hour for memorizing lines - not many lines, so it's OK. I tried the old script and it worked so much better, it was a very different one."

"I'm really glad they're willing to learn the lines temporarily. I think they saved the ending."
