    The game's story is generally described as light and somewhat simplistic, serving primarily as a backdrop to the creative painting mechanics. While some players appreciate the quirky characters and humorous dialogue delivered through emails, others find the narrative lacking depth and motivation, often feeling it can be ignored in favor of the art-focused gameplay. Overall, the story adds a charming element to the experience, but it is not the main draw for most players, who are more engaged by the creative freedom and tools available.

    • “The story builds up in a satisfying way as you sell more and more paintings too, and the endings are each really interesting and fun.”
    • “The story mode gives you prompts and a guided tool experience.”
    • “The story is fun, graphics are gorgeous, and there's so many tools to work with!”
    • “Decided to buy the 'story' mode for 20 euros and was bombarded with cheap assignments and not really any story that was motivating me to draw.”
    • “The story is meh, but what did you expect from a painting game.”
    • “My only issue is the 'story mode'; there's not much story, or direct objectives to work towards in my opinion.”
  • gameplay109 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of intuitive and complex mechanics that allow players to create art in various forms, with a focus on painting and customization. While some users find the controls clunky, especially on controllers, many appreciate the depth and creativity offered by the painting mechanics, which are described as smooth and engaging. The gameplay loop involves completing commissions, selling artwork, and upgrading tools, providing a unique and relaxing experience that encourages exploration and experimentation.

    • “The painting mechanic itself feels really smooth and pretty easy to master.”
    • “The gameplay revolves around creating art in a variety of forms, from digital paintings and sculptures to graffiti and installations.”
    • “The gameplay is not only fun and calming, but the storyline is charming and captivating.”
    • “I'm torn because it's kind of neat, but all of these sim-type games almost have some playability. This game has nothing to do with art; it's just a grind of selling items you scribble on to make money and unlock more things to sell. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I do not enjoy the gameplay loop.”
    • “I started to try and watch YouTube videos to work out how people who actually enjoy this game play it, and I still couldn't figure out the mechanics for things, though by that stage, I'd basically already given up.”
    • “I spent hours just figuring out how the mechanics work before I even actually made anything.”
  • graphics100 mentions

    The graphics in the game are widely praised for their vibrant colors, polished visuals, and charming art style, which enhance the overall creative experience.

    • “The graphics are amazing; everything honestly looks so good.”
    • “Game of the year material, heavy story without being too involved, beautiful graphics, and so relaxing.”
    • “The game messed up my graphics tablet, no idea how.”
    • “Also, the graphic tablet support I have been waiting for doesn't work at all for me on the Gaomon PD1560, so that was disappointing.”
    • “Unlike the majority of 'simulator' games on the market, this is not some weird half-hearted production where you just click to make things happen in a weird graphics world.”
  • humor46 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its charm and endearing qualities, with players enjoying the funny character interactions, sarcastic comments on their artwork, and humorous in-game reviews.

Overall, the humor enhances the gameplay, making it a delightful art simulator that appeals to a broad audience.

    • “If you're not into painting and art, this game still has some funny characters and stuff you can do, and you don't have to be good to get through the story.”

  • grinding20 mentions

    The reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be quite tedious and time-consuming, with some players feeling it requires an excessive commitment, often likening it to needing a "second life." While some appreciate the opportunity to progress at their own pace through commissions, many find certain aspects, like vehicle and building painting, to disrupt the flow and become monotonous. Overall, the grinding experience is mixed, with a significant portion of players expressing frustration over its repetitive nature.

  • optimization16 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed feedback. While performance is generally good, especially on lower-end systems, users have noted issues with texture optimization and occasional slowdowns, particularly at higher settings or during specific in-game events.

    • “On the positive side, the performance is surprisingly good.”
    • “There are also a lot of options for improving performance.”
    • “As time has gone on, it appears the dev listened to comments they originally dismissed related to performance and the mechanics surrounding painting the world around you, since then multiple updates have been released allowing you to protect surfaces, reset textures, and more.”
    • “But one huge issue is poor texture optimization.”
    • “I get this is probably an optimization thing, but I wish that was at least configurable like how one can configure paint resolution.”
    • “I blew up a spray can in that empty room, and the performance died on me.”
  • emotional15 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its ability to provide a wholesome and heartwarming experience, allowing players to express creativity in a fun and relaxing environment. Users appreciate the game's encouragement of artistic freedom, which fosters a sense of self-worth and emotional relief, especially during challenging times. The presence of charming elements, like the petbot, enhances the overall feeling of companionship and joy, making it a beloved escape for many.

    • “It has been a great emotional crutch for me and I could not be more grateful for its existence.”
    • “Being able to escape the fear of automation taking over my industry and experiencing a world that holds a clear appreciation for the humanity of art is nothing short of heartwarming.”
    • “I was already squealing over all the color options, but then the little robot made me cry because it was so freakin cute.”

  • replayability14 mentions

    The reviews on replayability for the game are mixed. While some users highlight its potential for endless creativity and self-expression, particularly for art enthusiasts, others criticize the limited content unlocked through the story mode, suggesting that much of it can be accessed in the free demo. Overall, the game offers significant replay value for those interested in painting, but may feel lacking for players seeking more diverse gameplay experiences.

    • “Overall, I think Suchart has an incredible amount of replay value, thanks to the endless possibilities for creativity and self-expression.”
    • “It's also essentially endlessly replayable by its nature.”
    • “The RPG aspect of it is interesting but ends too easily, yet it's replayable to achieve all accomplishments.”
    • “No replay value, same 10-20 items unlocked through the story to decorate 3 rooms essentially, which you could literally get pretty much most of those items in the free demo; the only thing you couldn't was some areas (the art gallery, the dock/garage area that literally only has 5 things for you to paint anyway, so it's not even worth buying or getting in the story.”
  • stability9 mentions

    Overall, the stability of the game is mixed; while some players report a smooth experience with no major issues, others have encountered significant freezing problems that require a hard restart.

  • atmosphere9 mentions

Players appreciate the warm and inviting environment created by engaging characters and the ability to change the external scenery, reminiscent of nostalgic art experiences.

    • “No matter what you draw, your clients (you get commission requests from NPCs for in-game money and 'fame') are always going to be happy and say that they love your art. Personally, at times, I thought that the praising and love atmosphere were a bit... undeserved.”
    • “It can also be calming to hear the different atmospheres and be able to navigate around in a futuristic environment and let your mind free.”
    • “I will add that my favorite new feature must be the ability to change the atmosphere outside of the studio window. It's really a nice change of pace that reminds me of all the Bob Ross videos I used to watch 'back in the day.'”
