For a few years I worked as a 2D artist for HOPA games (Hidden Object Puzzle Adventures). Good times :)

Phantasmat

-------------------

I played this game a year ago. And just recently, the 2nd part of the series passed. I will say that I got strong emotions from the passage of the second part of Phantasmat. She became my favorite for the rest of my days. Soon there will be screenshots and ediths I played this game a year ago. And just recently, the 2nd part of the series passed.

P.s: I use a translator. If half of the words are not clear, sorry👁️👅👁️

So one thing I've noticed is how Curioso's appearance changes a few times during the game, from a ragged/torn set of clothing, to an almost pristine appearance. And there's really nothing said about it, despite it being...clear as day..?

He has holes in his clothes, he's missing a bell, his mask and hands are damaged/cut, he's lost a couple accessories like his mini top hats and beads from his belt.

VS

Intact and vibrant clothing, has his yellow trim, looks just like the day he got them, limbs appear to be brand new.

--When Curioso first found his costume, it was on a random park bench and he had to sew a hole in it. But that's nowhere near the disrepair in the first pic...

So, my theory..?

Curioso can manipulate & control how he looks, his clothing not being an exception. But since he's been trapped for decades, and possibly went through a transformation to be who he is, his clothes got damaged in the process. So when he's in the 'real' world, he has a more difficult time maintaining control of his appearance, so his clothes constantly change depending on his grasp on them. But in HIS world(the box), he has a much easier time adapting himself and his surroundings, hence why he looks so much better there vs outside.

Would you rather be captured in a series of escape rooms by the Phantom (of the opera) or Oscar?

Oscar. Not even a COMPETITION.

it’s been months since i played any hidden object game and i was feeling it, the hopa shaped hole in my heart, so i clicked on the first game i had installed and it’s so beautiful i teared up
