02. Absinthe Tails

Absinthe Tails is a multi-ending puzzle game developed by a team of 7 in 3-mouth.
Players need to search for clues within images, chats, and sounds.

Concept Art

The protagonist's desk is the most important setting in the game. I wanted to create the image of a disheveled, alcoholic detective, with the space feeling dark and chaotic.

Game Art

To echo the signature green of absinthe, the game’s visuals are dominated by green tones, creating a slightly intoxicating and surreal atmosphere.

Challenge

The image is divided into 9 sections, and players need to zoom in on each section to search for clues. The composition of the images became crucial.

I built 10 scenes in Blender, 3D made it very easy to adjust the camera, rendered it and then refined it in Photoshop. Finally finished 10 images in a relatively short time.
