Chapter 6 - Pictures
Synopsis Being the most important building in the city, the Tower is heavily guarded, and Koru has to deploy his sneaking skills to reach the famous Tower Gallery. Under Purple’s guidance, Koru searches the gallery for one specific painting: an enormous canvas depicting Colortown. According to Purple, it is the very first idea someone had for a City of Colors, and is deeply tied to the essence of the city.

The painting shows the city divided, the unifying color purple missing. As Koru attempts to correct that and thus fix the city, all paint is drained from the canvas. Before Koru’s horrified eyes, Purple transforms into the hideous Bleak Spirit, who declares that he will wipe Colortown from existence. A bleak vortex opens under Korus feet, sucking him back into the dreamscape.

Trivia
 * The sneaking segment drew it’s inspiration from a similar challenge in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
 * All paintings in the gallery, with the exception of the Colortown Painting itself, are concept art that was not initially intended for display in this level.
 * One of the paintings on the right wall shows a Portal test chamber built out of cardboard. It was an idea for chapter 15 which we had to scrap due to time constraints. The picture is an overpaint of an actual screenshot.
 * The Colortown Painting is a mixture between children’s drawings and Hundertwasser artwork.
