Have you ever dreamed of becoming a world famous artist, selling your paintings in art galleries across the world?

During the beginning of your career you sold paintings in a dirty alley somewhere in France. You used your impressive brush skills to make masterpieces, moving yourself up in the art world. As you became more prominent you were featured in the newspapers, selling your masterpieces at exorbitant prices in a lavish art gallery. All of this is to feed your expensive baguette and wine addiction, an epidemic plaguing modern French society

Passpartout: The Starving Artist puts you in the shoes of a starving artist in France. You must sell paintings to make your weekly rent and sustain your baguette and wine addiction. The game features a dumbed down version of Microsoft paint to create masterpieces on. As time goes on the player will unlock more tools to create paintings. The goal of the game is to sell as many paintings as you can, but that is easier said then done in the art world. The A.I. is harsh, it will critique your paintings and insult you if it thinks you have done a bad job. No one said the art world was forgiving.
