It Paints Me was a tough game to judge. On one hand it had great music and atmosphere, a decent amount of choices, and decent voice acting. The story is where I felt conflicted. I felt too much was missing from it. I know this was a jam game so it was going to be short but I felt like not enough backstory was given on Sam or Marie. We get a glimpse of details but not much more. I also found Sam a little whiny and distrustful. If I was supposed to then good job but if not then something got crossed between the game and I.
I played It Paints Me on Linux. It never crashed and I didn't notice any spelling errors. You can save whenever you want and it has fifty four save slots.

I can't say I disliked the game but I also can't say i did like it overall. It has a lot going for it and I think given how well everything but the story was great in my eyes that given the right material I'm bound to enjoy some of the developer's future work.

I don't quite know where to start, to be completely honest. This game ruined me, yet you know what they say, right? Beauty is Terror, and this game reflects that PERFECTLY. I LOVED IT SM, IS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY^^
