The hand-drawn action-adventure Constance has officially launched on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by btf, this title invites players to step into a decaying inner world where a paintbrush serves as both a weapon and a tool for survival.
Painting a New Path
While the indie scene is packed with 2D platformers, Constance distinguishes itself through its core mechanic: the paintbrush. You aren't just double-jumping through levels; you are actively manipulating the environment. The game focuses on a fluid movement system where your brush strokes alter the world around you, allowing you to navigate platforming challenges and combat enemies that represent declining mental health.
The narrative frames this gameplay within a psychological struggle. You play as an artist trapped in a world that mirrors her own internal state. Progression isn't just about reaching the next checkpoint; it's about uncovering the mystery of this "decaying inner world" and understanding the protagonist's story through environmental storytelling and hand-crafted visuals.
Complete Audio Experience
Alongside the game's release, btf has made the Original Soundtrack available. For a game that relies heavily on atmosphere to convey its themes of mental health and inner conflict, the score plays a pivotal role in setting the tone. If the visual style hooks you, the audio landscape is designed to keep you immersed in the artist's journey.
