What is the Gommage in Expedition 33?

Have you ever wondered about the Gommage in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? It's a mysterious and kind of scary event that happens in the game. Let’s break down what it is and why it’s so important to the story.
So, what exactly is the Gommage? To put it simply, the Gommage is a yearly event where people of a certain age are erased from existence. They just turn to dust and disappear. The age changes every year, and it’s announced by a mysterious figure known as the Paintress. No one knows why it happens, which makes it even more terrifying for the people in the game’s world.
When I first learned about the Gommage while playing, I was genuinely creeped out. I remember talking to a character in the game who was getting close to the age of that year's Gommage. He wasn't even scared, just tired. He had accepted his fate. It made me feel really sad for him and all the others who had to live with this constant fear. It’s a dark and heavy part of the game that really sticks with you.
The Expeditions
Because of the Gommage, a group of people decided they had enough. They formed the Expeditioners, a group dedicated to fighting back and stopping the Gommage for good. This is where the "Expedition 33" part of the game's title comes from. The story follows this group as they go on a quest to find the source of the Gommage and end it.
I felt a real sense of hope when I joined the Expeditioners in the game. It was like a small light in a very dark world. My favorite part was getting to know the other members of the expedition. Each one had their own reason for joining, and we all shared the same goal. It made me feel like I was part of something bigger, a real fight for survival.

The Gommage is a central part of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It’s what drives the story and makes the world so interesting. It’s a story of loss, hope, and the fight for a better future.
