    Summary

    Have you ever wondered what life in Lumière was really like before, during, and after the Fracture?
    Honestly… same.

    So I took a chance, let my imagination run free, and followed it wherever it wanted to go. Until Sandfall gives us an official version (if they ever do), this is mine.

    Une Vie à Créer is a slow burn story following an original character living within the painted world Aline created — a world where no one knows they are made of pigment. Long before the Fracture, she crosses paths with Verso. What begins as quiet curiosity slowly, patiently grows into something deeper. Their connection unfolds through small moments, shared silences, everyday life, and the unseen corners of Lumière we never get to explore in the game.

    Then the Fracture happens.
    Everything changes.

    In the aftermath, as the world lies in pieces, the first foundations of Expedition 0 begin to take shape — a group driven by one question: what happened?

    Summary

    This was how all things began.
    Verso ambled about his morning, moving all-too mechanically. The melody persisted. His weight shifted from one leg to the other in a pantomime of dancing, even when he stood still. His chroma -not quite his own, not quite “Verso”’s- shifted as well. Eventually, he would be made to leave the confines of his sanctuary. Eventually, he would be made once again to don the mask of a man overcome with bliss at the chance to finally fulfill his dreams and perform his craft.
    Eventually was inevitable.

    Summary

    "My nightmares are always the same. I am faced with a burning house–my dress torn and charred and my lungs heavy with smoke. I see a man with dark hair and a soft smile being engulfed in flames. I see a woman with long hair, her face wracked with anger and sorrow. People scream and shout, fighting with one another. Then, I’m floating in darkness against an eclipsed ball of light…and I wake. Inconsolable grief grips my heart when I wake from this nightmare, but the grief fades when I remember it was only a dream."

    Josephine, plagued by cryptic nightmares, is ready for her expedition to stop the Paintress, armed with her chroma-etched violin. After a failed start to the Expedition, she is met with many unexpected challenges and unravels the mysteries of a previous life...and love.

    Summary

    It's been months since the expedition left her cottage, and nothing has changed for The Writer. Verso had promised her that he would create a different tomorrow - and yet there had been nothing but sunrise after sunrise accompanied by deafening silence. It was too much of too little. If Verso couldn't make good on his promise, then The Writer was left with no choice but to find him and make her own tomorrow.
