Hello everyone!
I've just created a new cover for my game, and I would like to know whether it reflects the genres and themes of my game.
Based on the my cover alone, what do you think the game is about? What genres do you think it belongs in?
Button Cupcake, I'd think of something about anime because of a fox/bear heard and sewed ears, button eyes, maybe about a tea-party (like at alice in wonderland? just with this protagonist of your banner than a rabbit), maybe also about something with sewing patterns somehow.
Background could refer to bit action-based scenes because of darkred, bit in black or more dark opacity. Roundy than squared or sharp font, seem to be quote smooth while "butterfly" seems similar to that timetravel-movie / inspired by "butterfly room" as horror movie?
No shadows in the banner, which let me guess that movie being rather in 2d than 3d. Why in graphics: that stuffie's head sounds like it's based on it than the texttitle that refer to butterflies or tea I guess? Maybe it's like five-night-at-freddys where a bear is approx one of the characters too. Maybe it's a bear as bartender or a koala who got a makeover for his fur who serves some tea ...so basically more reference o restaurant and cooking than animals or insects?
uhm, that rose ...could be like a tattoo, maybe referring to specific "tribe" not quite indian just as tattoo that defines enemies or "the good ones", by its mouth I'd think of kawaii-typed graphics in-game.
btw not clicked at the added link or browsing through comments, just by examining the details and my first thoughts even they're just connected within paragraphs and a new line being a completely different version.
I weirdly immediately think of a horror visual novel, something with a darker goth style (the tattoo showing roses but also … tentacles?) The wallpaper background also suggests a gothic atmosphere and the dog (?) head is obviously a stuffed animal (coming to life maybe? I would associate it with the horror movie May). Also, now thinking about it - where does the tattoo come from? Maybe the dog is made partially of skin?
The title immediately reminds me of tea parties and “Butterfly Tea” - with all the other aspects of the image - a sense of danger, maybe it’s poisonous?
Definitely gives me horror vibes due to the color and distortion of the background, x's on the eyes and liquid-like font. The roses also remind me of the horror anime The Promised Neverland, which has a similar gentleness mixed with horror to it.
In terms of genre my guess would be either visual novel or top-down RPG.
I'd say it looks like the cover of a gothic/ horror visual novel or some sort of point-and-click-story? The title could be an allusion to the tea scene in "Alice in Wonderland" mixed with the "butterfly effect" - nothing in the story will stay the same, the players/ viewers can change the course of the story with their respective decisions.
Hope that helps. Now I'm really curious what it's all about! :D
Definitely creepy horror, like a "fancier" style of Five nights at Freddy's haha. Gameplay-wise, I dont know why but it makes me think of a 2d style point and click horror game like Fran Bow. Atmosphere-wise, I think of that fairy tale section in Witcher 3 : Blood and Wine, but even more twisted and dark.
Man, I went all over the place with this XD. But, I hope it helped.
