Mystic Atelier

NOTE: This project is still a WIP 🚧  This is still just a High Concept for a game - I've completed some art and story. I've attached an image of the room to be explored. Stay tuned for updates!

Mystic Atelier is a point-and-click supernatural thriller set in the atelier of the enigmatic artist Aurelia Ignatius Chen, following her mysterious disappearance. 

• You are the would-be apprentice of the illusive Aurelia Ignatius Chen, a great artist rumored to work with enchanted (or cursed, depending on who you ask) paintbrushes - her works are said to shift and change before your very eyes.

• You arrive at her atelier hoping to petition her for an apprenticeship, with a letter of recommendation in hand from a former colleague of hers who you accosted at a party hosted by your former employer - only to discover Aurelia Ignatius Chen has disappeared

• On her doorstep, she left you a mysterious letter - she requests your assistance, and asks you not to inform the authorities. Find out where she has gone, and she will take you on as her apprentice. Has she planned her disappearance as a test, or is she really in some sort of trouble? And is the trouble mundane, or something more?

• You must explore her studio, which is rumored to contain magical and cursed artifacts. Find her cursed paintbrush and begin to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of Aurelia Ignatius Chen.

• Reveal the secrets behind her changing paintings, and behind the walls of the studio.
