Hand-drawn story-driven adventure game Vivarium announced
Gematsu Source
Tumblr media
A currently unnamed studio that consists of creator Michael Nowak and collaborator Trent Garlipp (A Walk With Yiayia) has announced Vivarium, a hand-drawn story-driven adventure game inspired by Love-de-Lic cult classics Chulip and moon, as well as slice-of-life adventure games like Boku No Natsuyasumi, with visuals and audio inspired by 1974 to early 1980s anime and manga. Platforms and a release date were not announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via the developers:
About
Vivarium is a story-driven adventure game set in the world of a terrarium!
Key Features
Gameplay focused on exploration and character storylines—expanding on the RPG town concept from games like Stardew Valley.
Hand-drawn cel-animation graphics inspired by classic anime—akin to Cuphead‘s take on 1930s cartoons.
Story
Jenny lives in a quaint ranch house by herself in the whimsical world of Vivarium. …However, not all is as it seems in the terrarium.
Objective
Jenny finds the giant tree in the center of the terrarium has died—throwing off the balance of the world in Vivarium. However, a new sprout has taken root in its place. As Jenny helps characters, solves puzzles, and grows in her experiences, the tree sprout grows in size.
Characters
“Yulia” the talking Slavic Dog hermit
“Rishi” and “Gunter,” the local shopkeepers
…and more to meet in the world of Vivarium
Game Loop
Explore – Gain access to new locations and characters.
Find Quests – Take on quests and mysteries in the terrarium.
Solve – Solve puzzles with items, conversation, and ingenuity.
Grow and Repeat – Gain experience with your actions, causing the sprout to grow.
World
Explore a dense, hand-painted world in Vivarium—filled with scenery, nooks, and secrets to discover.
Art Style
Our style is inspired by classic animation, especially from 70s to 80s Japan. Vivarium features a totally hand-drawn traditional cel-animation process—reflective of the media it’s inspired by. Every frame of the game is hand-crafted with love! Vivarium‘s environments are rendered in rich, thickly saturated gouache painting. Every area features its own original art assets and highly detailed painted backdrop. Vivarium uses subtle post-processing, lighting, and color grading to achieve a retro-cinematic aesthetic. Hand-placed dynamic day-night cycle lighting. Grain, lens focus-blur, and a cel drop-shadow are all applied in-engine. These effects replicate the look of traditional animation photographed and printed on film.

I’d like you all to meet my little buddy, Zephyr!
Tumblr media
They’re a Texas Ironclad Beetle! Aren’t they the cutest?? I actually just recently found them and I set up a vivarium for them, and I’d like to expand it soon and maybe someday find a friend or two for them.
I love them So much. I would have a nice little tea party with them if that were practical but it’s not so I did this for them instead!

I don’t even know what to say, they’re just. So lovely <3 I adore them

the thing about Vivarium (2019) is that it wasnt like the main couple particularly disliked kids. to the contrary, the both loved kids. gemma works as a grade school teacher and tom is a gardener who works for the school. tom is even sensitive enough that he buries two dead baby birds that fell from their nest at the start of the movie. these are two very caring and nuturing people who would have made excellent parents, they just didnt have kids *yet*. the tragedy of the story is that this couple that would have made excellent parents is given a child that they didnt plan for and didnt want. they werent ready to be parents yet and were forced into it without their consent. it is ultimately a story about people who are forced and pressured into living a life that they never would have chosen. theyre given everything they could ever need or want by cisheteronormative societal standards but they had no agency in it. they didnt chose it. its a story about how unwanted/unplanned children can drain the life out of people despite societys perception of them as "blessings". gemma and tom were very nurturing people yet when given a baby against their will it destroyed them; tom worked himself to death to escape and reject the child abandoning gemma to raise him alone, but raising him was just a job to her. gemma rejected motherhood til her dying breath. they abused the child, tom even tried to kill him, and gemma regrets not letting him do it when the child gets older. raising the child gave them nothing but suffering, they could only find peace sitting in their car (much like how for life in the suburbs your car is a lifeline - its nearly impossible to do anything without one). the movie was about the hidden suffering that lies just beneath the idyllic surface of suburbia; the voyeuristic, isolating, paranoid, depressive reality that afflicts families who never wanted life to be this way but were trapped into it. is it any wonder why this movie made people feel deeply uncomfortable?
