ART DIRECTION
Here you'll see pages from the original art bible, demonstrating how we carefully chose visuals to match the game's mood. Each chapter has its own color scheme to reflect the protagonist's emotions. Before creating the visuals, we did style tests to agree on the look. We also collected reference images for each room in the house to guide us when choosing models and decorating scenes. These materials show the planning and consistent visual direction we followed.
The first image compares the initial tests with the final outcome.
