Painting style
With the hamster as the main character, it means that the style of the game will be warm and cosy. The colour scheme of the game will be light and multi-coloured. Characters and scenes will be designed in a rounded construction and hand-drawn style.
Examples of games with similar styles.
《Arise: A Simple Story》: Simple Colour Scheme 
《Sunset Hills》: hand-painted style
Style
Since our main character is a hamster, each room will be explored from the hamster’s point of view. In order to better immerse the player into the character, we decided to use the first person perspective to explore the map (RPG). Physics puzzles and room escapes were added to add more playability to the game. So this will be a role-playing game as well as a puzzle game.
Examples of games with similar styles:
《What Remains of Edith Finch》

Game Theme
Explore sounds in a relaxed and fun atmosphere and get a feel for them at the end of the game.
This game is sound-driven, so the importance of sound is important
The importance of game sound is reflected in the following aspects:
* Atmosphere setting: game sound effects are used to create a specific game atmosphere, such as scary, tense, happy, etc., which helps to enhance the player’s immersion.12
* Information transfer: sound effects can be used to convey instant information, such as the location of enemies, the health of characters, etc., which is crucial for players to react.2
* Emotional guidance: Different music and sound effects can affect the player’s emotions, making them feel joyful, nervous, or fearful.3
* Artistic contagion: game sound effects can enhance the artistic contagion and depth of the game, and sometimes even play the role of a finishing touch.4 * Immersion experience: the design of game sound effects can enhance the game’s artistic contagion and depth.
* Immersive experience: sound effects can be designed to better immerse the player into the situation, for example, the sound of birds chirping in the forest or the sound of wind in the dark forest can increase the sense of immersion.5 * Interactive experience: sound effects can also increase the sense of immersion in the game.
* Interactive experience: Sound effects can also be integrated with physical interactions within the game, e.g. in some games, changes in sound effects may indicate whether a player’s action was successful or not.
* Accessibility: Providing audible feedback to hearing-impaired players makes games more accessible.
* Game quality: Game sound is considered an important part of game quality and sometimes even a key factor in attracting players.
In summary, game sound is not only an important part of the game experience, but also a key element in improving game quality and player engagement.
