Orangutan matter
Orangutan matter is a Toronto-based indie game studio bringing together a diverse team passionate about art and innovation.
Their vision sees video games as a medium to explore and express the depths of human emotions and vulnerabilities. Their creative
process prioritizes organic narrative development, leveraging a variety of perspectives to guide the process rather than controlling
it.
Unleaving
Unleaving is a puzzle-platformer that weaves grounded physics and skill-based challenges into an metaphoric abstract narrative
about some of life’s deeper meanings.
This multimedia art world blurs the line between virtual and physical, with brushstrokes and textures that draw players into
a contemplative exploration of the game's themes.
The use of real-life art to create landscapes further grounds players in the world, encouraging appreciation of both
virtual and real beauty.
The aesthetics of the game combine different traditional styles and mediums, mainly hand painting in impressionist style,
pencil illustration and animation movement throughout the game. Every frame is a literal painting.
The distinct visual style was brought to life with painting-animation techniques involving altering acrylic painting
on canvas paper while capturing frames during the painting process.
This results in many backgrounds in the game coming alive, breathing subtle changes as the player continues through the story.
