About this game

Dive into the everyday world of an 11-year-old girl, Evi, and navigate a world that often feels too loud, too fast, and hard to understand.

Canvas of Thoughts is a cozy story-driven point-and-click adventure that invites players to explore familiar places: a classroom, a playground, a shopping mall, family gatherings, and a doctor’s office, through a neurodivergent perspective. Each location forms a self-contained chapter with its own emotional tone, visual palette, and interactive challenges.

Features

  • Story-driven, point-and-click adventure game featuring classic exploration, item collection and object combination in familiar, everyday environments.
  • Emotion-based gameplay allows player choices to influence both the protagonist’s inner state and how the world responds, translating emotional experiences into interactive mechanics.
  • Educational insight through play, illustrating how sensory input, social situations and routines can feel either overwhelming or calming, depending on the context.
  • Environmental puzzles and mini-games focus on logic, patterns, observation and self-regulation rather than speed or failure.
  • Hand-crafted 2D watercolour art and atmospheric sound design support immersion, emotional storytelling and reflective gameplay.

You explore hand-drawn scenes, click on environmental details, collect everyday objects, and combine items to solve puzzles and progress the story. Small interactions like arranging objects, creating patterns, focusing on sounds, or using familiar items, become meaningful tools to move forward.

The narrative progresses through emotion-based choices rather than traditional dialogue trees. Instead of selecting exact words, players choose how to respond emotionally, influencing conversations, puzzles, and how environments react. Every response is valid, shaping a different path through each chapter.

With its hand-drawn watercolor art style, atmospheric sound design, and focus on everyday moments, Canvas of Thoughts blends traditional point-and-click adventure design with a cozy personal narrative experience that unfolds through interaction, exploration, and reflection rather than challenge or combat.
