artsick [DEMO]

(a demo version of the game - full version out soon!)

Eugene is finishing the last year of his Bachelor’s degree in fine arts, and he feels like he can explode any second. The concepts of his works are good, he always gets good feedback, and no one ever questions his skill - but why do his paintings feel the emptiest they have ever been? Eugene is fueled even more by the success of his peer, May, who keeps booking new exhibitions one after another. The envy burns Eugene stronger and stronger every day - but maybe it’s something else that keeps him so focused on his rival?

Meanwhile, Eugene’s friend Anne is going through a rough breakup, and May can’t stand Eugene not being his friend anymore.

What can help? A good old art retreat.
