Question. Is there any name for this broad style of art style? Low detail. Unsaturated colors? Im a programmer but I freaking love this and would realy love to learn. I do a bit of pixel art but very simple things.
Wouldn’t necessarily say that there is a name for the art style apart from how you described it. Maybe if you branch away from ‘pixel art’ as a medium, you could find a similar realm in low poly art with a moody colour palette.
You can always look at similar artists who share similar brands and study how they draw! For respite, I was inspired by waneella’s pixel art but is highly detailed.
hopefully this helps. good luck!
I see what you mean, i will for sure take a look at those. Thank you so much. Im still waiting for more from you ;)
This made me cry lmao
wow this is an awesome art style!! thanks for this meaningful game, it hit pretty close to home <3
that was a superb experience, i really like the artwork and all the details of this game =)
Really awesome style with the 3D and pixel art combo. Would've loved to have known what the argument was about, maybe I missed something? Not super important though. Is this set in the year 2060+ or am I just imagining lol? Wish I had a bedroom as cozy. Thanks!
!! Spoilers !!
The argument was about the main character’s rude and stressed behavior due to burnout and over-working. The MC denies that they’ve been having problems and avoids the confrontation from his roommates which ends in a fight. What they exactly fought about? It’s not really written into the game so you didn’t miss anything regarding that.
Thanks for playing and sharing your play through!
Amazing artwork, good story behind it and I really enjoyed this short game <3

Thank you so much for playing! Im so glad that you enjoyed it and I definitely have plans to do more!
hey this is a lovely game, but it is suppose to close itself? at the end
!!! Spoilers ahead!! . . . Yes! If you decided to stay, it’s suppose to close itself to represent taking a break. If you decided to go, the game would restart with the cut scene to represent repeating the cycle of stress and burnout.
A bit metaphorical and not the cleanest ending but since it was a school project I had to rush to get it down.
Thanks for asking!
a school project? THAT IS THE BEST SCHOOL PROJECT IVE SEEN WTH
