DisplaceMen
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
DisplaceMen: Painter Practice is a magic realist ADV. In the coastal town of Huanmen, everyone has the ability to DISPLACE, enabling them to make objects or even living beings appear and vanish out of thin air. The Player takes on the role of a broke painter, using found objects to make art. Their commissioners span from a motivational speaker, a trace scholar having a day job as a tattoo artist, a hardcore cosplayer teenager, to a pseudoscientist. In the seemingly serene everyday life, the painter gradually discovers the loss of someone significant. They will do anything to bring her back.
↓Explore HUANMEN, a small town by the seaside altered by DISPLACEMENT
↓Draw items out of the void, of fading memory, and DISPLACE them for incredible value
↓Meet people (mostly nerds), and change our fate together with DISPLACEMENT and art

Very fascinating game, and I love how captivating both the narrative and character designs are. Without spoiling too much, the game mechanic and story line made me want to replay it to see different results. Looking forward to future development!
One minor bug I encountered is that after reloading a save, the characters in the dialog box are all question marks, but the text after that is all good.
Thank you for leaving a comment here! We are glad you enjoyed it^o^ Thanks for pointing out the SAVE/LOAD bug—we'll fix that once the new chapter is updated.
nice
thanks for sharing this!
I really liked this, it ran loops around my brain, and rarely does a game effectively make me empathize with it.
I can't describe the effort and love put into it in words better than...it, the game.
So please, if you haven't, play it.
I'm looking forward to the culminated message that will be at the end of this project, and excited for the experience that this game will give me.
Thank you so much for writing this!! I'd treasure this message - this is indeed very motivating to hear while we are continuing to develop more contents. I hope the future chapters will bring more excitements/good surprises to you!
