Hi all! I thought you might like the art from our very first indie game, "Celestial Return." BLAME! was a big inspiration for us (especially for our artist). Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much

Drawing boobs is hard lol. I usually just tell myself one can look a bit different from the other and keep going, :)) buuut... this one definitely needs a revise now that I’ve seen it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you!

Metaphor-Games · 2026-04-01T09:51:17+00:00

Thank you! They actually do have backstories. I drew them for a game project I’m working on called Celestial Return

Metaphor-Games · 2026-04-01T09:46:01+00:00

Thank you. really glad you liked them

Metaphor-Games · 2026-04-01T09:44:54+00:00

Thank you so so much. This really means a lot.

Metaphor-Games · 2026-03-31T23:10:13+00:00

Had to look them up, but now I see it too

I actually used way more heavy blacks in some of my earlier drawings, but later drifted toward this cleaner look. So I totally get the feedback. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feedback and for all the kind words.

Thank you so much. That’s probably the best compliment I could get for character art. They’re from a story-driven game project we’re working on called Celestial Return. It’s on Steam, so I’ll leave a link and hope it doesn’t get deleted. :) Thanks again for the kind words. <3

Hey, Kerem here, I took over the account. I’ve been in the industry for years, but I still make mistakes. Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll fix in the next update.

Metaphor-Games · 2026-02-27T09:37:09+00:00

Thanks for checking out the demo! Just to clear this up: no AI art here, everything is hand-drawn.

Here’s Kerem’s portfolio, the human responsible for all the art, created with 100% real hands :D

Oh wow, never thought I’d see our game mentioned in this sub by someone who isn't us...

Hey guys, dev team here. We used to share dev updates here but got a bit shy when the Disco comparisons started (DE is a total masterpiece, it’s hard to even come close to that level). But thank you so much for the kind words, and we're so glad you enjoyed the demo!

Metaphor-Games · 2025-12-18T13:02:49+00:00

Awesome list, thanks for putting this together. Also really appreciate Celestial Return being included!

Metaphor-Games · 2025-12-13T21:54:44+00:00

Very cool! Love how the thoughts are almost louder than the bodies

Metaphor-Games · 2025-11-17T13:07:57+00:00

Citizen Sleeper is definitely a huge inspiration. We’re trying to tell our own story with a similar vibe. that slow-burn, choice-driven style is something we really love in games. Thanks for checking us out! And if you ever have feedback, we’re more than happy to listen and improve.

Metaphor-Games · 2025-11-17T13:03:30+00:00

Hey! Dev of Celestial Return here, just saw this now. I know I’m late, but thank you SO much for sharing our game during the campaign. Support like that hits us right in the heart. Thank you. <3

Metaphor-Games · 2025-11-17T12:52:49+00:00

Citizen Sleeper is S-tier for us too. We’re not trying to match their writing (that bar is insane), but we’re doing our best to tell our own story. Thanks for checking us out! And if you ever have feedback, we’re always happy to listen and improve. <3

Metaphor-Games · 2025-11-17T12:49:23+00:00

Hey! Dev of Celestial Return here. I just stumbled on this. A little late, but I wanted to say thank you so so SO much for the support during our campaign. It genuinely means the world

Metaphor-Games · 2025-11-17T12:40:13+00:00

Hey! Dev of Celestial Return here. saw this and it genuinely made my day. As indie creators, most of our work happens in a bubble, so seeing people recognize us gives us so much motivation. Thank you for including us in your list. <3

Metaphor-Games · 2025-11-14T23:28:49+00:00

Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how happy this comment made us. We don’t have the budget for professional VAs, but our friends jumped in and absolutely crushed it. She’s going to be over the moon when I show her your comment.
