Brush Hour

Brush away the flaws, or face the king.

In "Brush Hour", you're a Romantic-era painter tasked with pleasing the king. He despises anything unpleasant, so use your trusty brush to erase the bad. Reimagine the world with our handcrafted shader into a romanticized vision. But beware: reality creeps back in. Rotten trees and other flaws will pierce the illusion. Keep the corruption away, or face the king’s wrath. Good luck!

Game through culture

"Brush Hour" integrates Romantic Era art heritage, where players recreate historical romanticization by painting over reality's harsh elements. The game critically examines how cultural narratives suppress uncomfortable truths, empowering players to reflect on power structures, media manipulation, and the responsibility of artists in challenging dominant historical and contemporary narratives.
