Press on, as seemingly unrelated plots start to come together, creating a bigger picture. Painterly graphics made with innovative technologies To separate the performances from the real world and stress their artistic nature, we decided to reach for new, creative methods of graphic design. The spectacle segments of the game are painted using virtual reality technology: exchanging traditional 3D modeling for painterly strokes and splatters granted us more expressive freedom in shaping the artistic vision of the Director. In Ars Fabulae you will experience: - A rich, engaging story about the relationship of two artists who developed a theatre in a British countryside. - Multiple chapters with different gameplay mechanics, telling individual stories tied to the main plot. - A unique art style created with VR painting technology.
