I cannot overstate how much I loved this, even though it is just a tiny part of what the full game will be. Whoever is behind the art for this game deserves a raise (or a pizza or something) because the art style is amazing. I mentioned Fran Bow as a comparison for the art but that one is colourful and whimsy (since it's through the eyes of a child) whereas here all of the colours, except for Echo, are muted since Vale clearly was battling depression. Maybe I'm reading into it too much but I can't avoid it when the art is that beautiful (would love to know what software you guys used for the art since I usually work on Procreate). The music and ambiance were also wonderful and I'm already super invested in the story, the writing is really nice and I love the sense of humour that occasionally pops up in the dialogue. Super well done, can't wait for the full release of this.
Hey! The whole team absolutely loved your video and your reactions to the little things we came up with! Thanks for noticing all the small details and for all the kind words! And You’re sooo funny omg! 🫶 We made a short devlog about the game idea and the origins of the art, if you’re interested in checking it out. Roberta (our artist) is using photoshop btw.
