These blazing traffic lights were the beacon that led Fletcher to his current venture. Deep-fried and sugar-coated, doughnuts have labels that are a sea of red and orange. If the nutrients are over a certain threshold-for fat it’s 17.5 grams, for sugar it’s 22.5 grams-then the product gets a red traffic light label for that category. In the UK, most prepackaged food is labeled according to a “traffic light” system where products are rated for their fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt content per 100 grams. “I picked doughnuts because their health credentials are genuinely quite dreadful,” says founder Anthony Fletcher. Leading the charge is British doughnut brand Urban Legend. The winds of change are blowing, and they smell a lot like delicious steam-baked dough. Or, if not healthy exactly, then at least much health ier than the fried goods currently on offer. ![]() A shake-up of food rules in the United Kingdom has sparked a new kind of doughy disruption: the quest for healthy confectionery. You’ll have to prize our sugared rings from our caramel-coated fingers. Take away the sugary glaze and oily smoosh of dough and what are you left with? Nothing. Everyone knows that doughnuts are deeply unhealthy. Cookies on doughnuts! Cookies inside doughnuts! Pork floss doughnuts! Doughnuts rolled in cheese! Sourdough doughnuts! Gluten free! Vegan! Yellow! Red! Rainbow! Healthy doughnuts! We are spoiled with variations on a creme that our ancestors did not dare to dream of. Future historians will debate when this epoch began-did it all start with the cronut?-but even the most casual doughnut guzzler knows this is a golden era for glazed goods. I don’t think I will colour every area I come across, but it was definitely fun painting one.We are living through an era of doughnut innovation like no other. There were long sequences of time where I would get sidetracked painting while just listening to the music repeat itself as it plotted along. The music by Lena Raine is absolutely magical. “The stunning mechanics and intriguing story make Chicory an absolute must-play.” You can paint trees to make them change forms or to use them as a means of transportation. It utilises the mechanic to create quests and puzzles. However, Chicory isn’t all about painting the best landscapes either. The story is promising, and the demo ends right on a cliffhanger, leaving you to ponder what comes next. Fortunately, the Brush has been left behind, kickstarting your journey to paint the world back together. The colour is missing, and so is Chicory. After a few tremors, you inspect the building to find out the world is black and white. The demo places you at the heart of where the colour stems from Chicory’s tower. ![]() There is a deep narrative hidden under the service, as well as some enthralling gameplay. In Chicory, you travel through each area, restoring colour to the world. ![]() Chicory: A Colorful Tale is one of the games to feature at this year’s LudoNarraCon, and it is one of the best games I have played in a while. ![]()
