Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Jerseys and Playing Cards From a Painted World

Some games arrive quietly and leave a mark out of all proportion to the noise around them. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was one of those: a turn-based RPG dressed in the melancholy glamour of Belle Époque France, beautiful and devastating in equal measure. Our collection translates that singular art direction into officially licensed team jerseys and collector's playing cards, Clair and Obscur, made for the players who finished it and could not stop thinking about it.

Clair and Obscur, Light and Shadow

The pair are two halves of one idea. The Clair jersey carries the Paintress across the full body of the shirt, front and back, rendered as a flowing Art Deco composition in light. The Obscur jersey answers in shadow, the same world redrawn in the darker, tonal register the game wears so well. Worn together they tell the whole story; worn apart, each makes its own statement. Both are cut for real comfort in breathable heavyweight fabric, taking the shape of a football kit and the soul of the game it honours.

Expedition 33 Playing Cards

The same light-and-shadow idea runs through our two Expedition 33 decks. The Clair Edition deals in the pale, gilded register of the Paintress's brighter work; the Obscur Edition answers in the darker tones the game wears so well. Both are premium and fully playable, finished to be displayed as readily as dealt from. They are the most affordable way into the collection, and a natural gift for anyone still humming the score.

The Expedition, and Why It Stays With You

Developed by Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 follows the doomed members of an expedition setting out to end the Paintress, the figure who paints a number on her monolith each year and erases everyone who has reached that age. It is a premise as cruel as it is beautiful, and the game earns every tear it draws with an unforgettable score, striking design and a story that refuses to let go. To wear one of these jerseys, or deal from one of these decks, is to carry a small piece of that world, and to signal it to the handful of people who will recognise exactly what it means.
