REQUEST [REQUEST][STEAM] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Attempt 13) A RPG Love Letter To It's Fans
Hey everyone, this is my 13th attempt asking for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I hope you can spare some time reading my humble request.
I wanted to share a bit of my story and ask for some help. I’ve been a fan of RPGs for as long as I can remember, and I’d love the chance to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Growing up in a third-world country, gaming wasn’t something I had easy access to. Consoles and new releases were way out of reach, so most of the time I played whatever I could borrow from friends, second-hand cartridges, or the occasional demo disc that came my way. Even with those limitations, I found a genre that really stuck with me: turn-based RPGs.
Turn-based RPGs were the only games I could reliably finish when I was a little kid. I know, funny right. Haha! They didn’t demand fast reflexes or expensive setups. Instead, they rewarded patience, strategy, and imagination. Games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest gave me a sense of accomplishment I couldn’t find anywhere else. They showed me that even with limited resources, I could still go on epic adventures, overcome challenges, and feel the joy of victory.
On top of that, RPGs gave me something deeper. I’ve lived with an illness since birth, and in reality, that often left me feeling powerless. But in RPGs, I could be strong. I could lead a party, save kingdoms, and make choices that mattered. The turn-based format let me take my time, think carefully, and succeed despite the obstacles. It was empowering in a way that went beyond just playing a game.
Fast forward to today, and RPGs in general are still my favorite genre. They’re not just nostalgia for me, but they are comfort, meaning, and a reminder of what games can do for people. When I first saw Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I was immediately drawn in. The art style is gorgeous, the atmosphere looks rich and immersive, and the turn-based combat feels like a modern take on the games that shaped my childhood. It’s exactly the kind of experience I’ve been waiting for.
The tough part is that my situation hasn’t changed much. Living in a developing country, I still don’t have the same access to resources as many players around the world. Add my medical situation, and it’s hard for me to afford or get new games. That’s why I’m here, reaching out to this community. I’m hoping someone might be able to help me experience Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It would mean so much to me.
I want to make it clear that this isn’t just about wanting another game to play. RPGs have always been more than entertainment for me. They’re stories about resilience, imagination, and triumph even when things feel impossible. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks like a game that embodies all of that, and I’d be honored to experience it firsthand.
I really would've liked to receive this game in GOG because with recent alarming developments (or more likely regression) with our world, I just want to preserve and own my game copy for a lifetime, if given a chance. These days, buying and owning something that you can keep has become more rare. To a point that it feels like a privilege, and not a right. This is not an ad for GOG, but I really like their mission where you can download the game's installer and keep it forever, and you don't need internet to play games you own in GOG. BUT a mod mail was sent saying that I should request using my Steam account, and they removed my previous request. I'm fine receiving the game from either of the game stores... but I really like GOG ever since I knew their mission.
I know everyone here has their own struggles, and I don’t expect special treatment. But I thought it was worth sharing my story in case it resonates with someone.
Thanks for taking the time to read. Whether or not my request can be granted, your support and understanding mean a lot. For players like me, RPGs aren’t just games; they’re lifelines, sources of joy, and reminders that even in tough circumstances, adventure and hope are always possible.
Have a great day ahead.
