While Chicory: A Colorful Tale for the most part is an innocuous and wholesome experience to play, there are some visual and gameplay elements that players will need to adjust to suit their needs. Luckily, Chicory contains a number of accessibility options that you should sift through before starting up the game.
Whether you have a hard time in boss fights or just really hate “wet sounds,” there are plenty of thoughtful options in the Chicory: A Colorful Tale options menu. And while there are no explicit settings for colorblindness, none of the puzzles require you to differentiate between colors, and they are purely for aesthetic. That being said, the different colors can give an advantage in discerning different parts of the environment.
