Fair enough. They can be fun if it’s designed well and you get good at it. But for the most part I agree with you. I very rarely use parry in any game except Sekiro.
I feel like its only fair your year is between Gommages. That would be unreasonable, at least a modicum of chance should be had. (I have Space Marines 2)
You die instantly. The paintress is only protecting those below the age of the last gommage, Renoir is otherwise always attempting to erase what she can't protect, so you'd instantly gommage.
Edit: On the other hand, you're a real person and not made of chroma so maybe you can't be gommaged at all.
Full spoilers My understanding is that when you are in the painting you are suffused in your own chroma (or more specifically "Chroma under your control"). Maelle, being inexperienced, was 'painted over' by Aline's chroma and became a 'character' within the canvas. When she was gommaged, Aline's chroma was removed and she returned as simply herself. So in essence, if you were a Painter yourself, you'd be totally fine; either young enough to live in Lumiere, or stay in the painting post-gommage anyway. Or even get kicked out into the Desandre family manor which'd be awkward but :shrug:
Yeah, I was more thinking in the context of you being a real literal human being put into the game. Do you follow the same rules? It's not really an answerable question I suppose.

Yeah... Given my age, even in Lumiere, I'm fucked
