In short,

This game is truly a masterpiece , I already have 18 hours and eager to put many more into it. It is a MUST play if you're an artist or just interested in art overall. It is the best game I've played, and as an artist, queer person, and having depression, it made me feel great about myself, the way those things are portrayed is enough to make anyone that can relate cry out of joy.

Pros:

● First off, LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Besides portraying many scenarios and having lots of queer characters, the game itself does it's best (and succeeds) to make you feel included.

● You can literally play it however you want - Do you want a chill only gameplay? Sure, you can skip boss battles and paint peacefully and go through the game (which has as amazing story). Do you want to play for the story and the action? Sure, you don't need to paint every single thing. Do you want both? Just play the game.

● Amazing accessibility - You can customize literally everything, up to how many health points you have, disable sounds that could make you uncomfortable, you can even get tips which describe the exact things you need to do in case you're stuck and don't know how to progress.

● Really chill and story based gameplay, but the action is TOP TIER when it has to be.

● The OST is just... Heavenly, the way it shifts depending on the area you are is so smooth and almost feels like it was made especifically for the moment you're in. The way certain elements get added to the song as you do things in game is GREAT.

● It can be short, it can be long, it just depends on how you want to play it. Some gameplays take 2 hours, some 4 while others 8, or in my case, 18.

● It really depicts the struggles of being an artist and goes through deep topics such as being depressed and thinking you're not good enough. It also encourages great messages such as the importance of recycling campaigns, and a bunch of psychological advice that might become a spoiler if I talk about them too much.

● It makes you feel happy, sad, energetic, curious, fear, anger, surprised and it goes on... It's a rollercoaster of emotions but not in a bad way.

● The gameplay is creative and really based off of art and how you color, paint, and see things. It's something I've never seen before in a game and also something I never knew I needed to see (and experience, also).

Cons:

● It can get tiring sometimes, but it's really just because drawing and painting can be a hard task. It's not much of a big deal though, just take a pause, do something else, and you'll be eager to play it again in no time.

● Sometimes the hitboxes to paint certain objects are misleading or just a bit bizarre, but it's not something you can't work it out.

That's mostly about it.

The game surely pays off for the cons, it's a delightful experience and it its seriously the best game I have ever played. It is worth the value it's priced and honestly much more. Again, it's a must for anyone that likes art. It is the best game I've played, and as an artist, queer person, and having depression, it made me feel great about myself, the way those things are portrayed is enough to make anyone cry out of joy.
