Sometimes, it’s not the grand sagas but the quiet, introspective stories that touch us the deepest. A Hint of Purple is exactly that kind of experience, a free visual novel that explores not only art and love but also loss, identity, and the acceptance of a new self, and as a reflection on how we define ourselves, how we navigate change, and how love must adapt when life takes unexpected turns. What makes it special is the way it plays with inner monologues. Maya's conversations with her prefrontal cortex are not just a creative narrative device but also a deep exploration of self-doubt, hope, and the search for meaning. It’s almost like witnessing an internal struggle, one that we all in some way recognize. Sharp dialogue, sometimes witty, sometimes raw and unfiltered, sometimes humorous, sometimes painfully honest, and that’s precisely what makes it so real. All of this contributes to an experience that lingers, much like a painting whose full meaning only reveals itself over time.

This was a hard game to get through, it deals with themes of loss, introspection and meaning. It's beautifully written and doesn't shy away from telling a very realistic story. To be honest I'm going through a tough time in my life at the moment and going through the narrative got me pretty emotional at times but it also made me appreciate what I do have left. It's not overly long and it has a similar UI to Disco Elysium which was the reason I picked it up in the first place. I'd give it a go if you don't mind making yourself depressed for a bit. Also to note there are no auto saves and dialogue choices do not change the outcome of the story.
A Hint of Purple — насыщенная сюжетом визуальная новелла о художнице Майе. История переключается между её пребыванием в больнице в настоящее время и переживанием отдельных воспоминаний. Пока Майя пытается общаться с внешним миром, она также ведёт войну со своим собственным разумом. Главная героиня состоит в квир-отношениях, но это не имеет никакого отношения к сюжету или смыслу игры. Единственная общая мысль, касающаяся искусства, проста и банальна: искусство субъективно. Это история о горе и возрождении. Майя, парализованная в разгар своей творческой карьеры, оплакивает потерю своих профессиональных мечтаний и возможности рисовать. Ее романтический партнер, Кай, оплакивает потерю их отношений. Мод, соседка по больнице, оплакивает потерю семьи и друзей, которых она пережила. Это эмоциональная, атмосферная, насыщенная сюжетом визуальная новелла...

挺喜欢游戏里对于病床外的景色和生老病死的描写的,老人家非常亲切,喜欢这个角色。美中不足可能是太短了加上文字描述比较常规,对于病症折磨和情感打击的刻画还没有到刺痛观者的地步?不过能完整地讲完故事已经很好了,虽然主角是个画家,经常有脱离现实空间的想象,但游戏也没有因此丢失对于平凡生活里的他人的关注,反而是借着病床这个小小的空间展现了ta们的生活,没有艺术家那样可以尽情倾诉的出口,但ta们的经历和情绪同样是浓烈的
This game shot straight to the top of my favorite experiences. It made me tear up, made me smile, made me think, made me feel sentimental, made me remember—and then tear up again. It’s touching, thoughtful, brilliantly made, and tells the story of souls each trying their best in this world. I couldn’t play anything else after this, because it left me speechless… just in awe. Go download it, dear reader. Go experience it for yourself. <3
紫色,介于红与蓝之间,介于二元性别之间,非二元旗帜上的颜色。背景音像叹息又像无声地呐喊。短而丰满的情节,风格上致敬了极乐迪,结局有些哀伤,像一口喝到嘴里仍然回甘的酒液。 结局的蛙鸣像一个没讲完的故事。
The idea is good. The execution is good. It is free. Yes I do recommend this game. Just be warned that it's pretty heavy.
I had to stop and admire the view through the window after finishing, and I saw the world in a different light. I want to thank Dormin for creating such a moving story, very deep, detailed, full of self-exploring dialogues with your own brain, people that visit you (I don’t want to spoil any detail), and the memories that arise. All in all, a beautiful game that is also presented in a beautiful way. And also, in my case, thank you to Nonbinary Haven curator for making me discover it. Dear reader of this review, please experience it.
