This game is straight out of the PS2 era, in all the best and worst ways. The art style is unique and the story is charmingly earnest. For the first 4 or so hours of gameplay, I found myself in a very relaxed flow state. Even though I abandoned making my paintings sensible early on, I still found the act of painting soothing. The final couple hours of the game, however, completely changes the formula and takes a hard turn into a poorly executed action game. Nevertheless, I appreciate indie developers bringing some variety and trying something new. I'm looking forward to what Pixelopus does next.
