But there’s a certain Je ne se quoi in just going in and painting with your fingers on the touchscreen – it brings out some of the artistic instinct from you, and you can go on and on doodling around whatever your heart envisions in that canvas. But oh the joy of making those paintings! You can use the Nintendo Switch analog sticks and buttons to paint, and the HUD is very well designed for that, allowing a lot of freedom while you work on your masterpiece. The gameplay mechanics are simple to understand. Passpartout: The Starving Artist is available for PC and Mac via Steam for $9.99.Have you ever felt the need to experience the life of an artist working on the Parisian streets, as you try to sell your paintings to the world in order to sustain your worrying addiction to wine and baguettes? Well, look no further because Passpartout: The Starving Artist from Flamebait AB will definitely scratch that itch! In a narcissistic twist of fate, Mary ends up buying this painting for herself. There’s a lot to like about Passpartout - you can beat the game in under three hours but it’s worth taking your time and just tuning off into a world where life is as simple as pretending to be an art master with a watermelon for a face, and learning to brush off those who aren’t here to root for your success.

There’s an art pop-py period where I used hella colors. But as paintings go for more cash, I found more time to devote to the craft, experimenting with new styles. The game is broken up into three acts, each with a higher scale of clienteles who are willing to shell out more money for your work - even if they exhibit the same mediocre level of artistry. (Your color selections remain the same throughout the game, which might feel limiting.) Eventually, a critic comes by and tries to make you famous by reviewing your work on on the newspaper and moving you to a nicer gallery with better foot traffic. Overtime, you earn new painting tools, such as a spray paint can and a pen.
