Gameplay
Hilda and The Watercolors is a graphic adventure played from a first-person view. The player controls the protagonist, Hilda, as she is turned into a troll, to explore various locations in the fictional setting of a new location and communicate with non-playable characters through the conversation system based on dialogue trees.

Some sequences will have quick-time-events where if the player fails to press the button at certain time, the player will start from the previous checkpoint prior to the QTE. Most of the quick-time-events are in some boss fights.

Synopsis
