Hi everyone! I'm Lekhraj, and this is my entry: Painted Out: Confessions of a Royal Retoucher.

The Duke is petty, and history is negotiable. When someone laughs at him, they never existed, and you have to scrub them out of every palace painting, plus everything they left behind: a hat on a peg, a reflection in the mirror, a hound still staring at an empty saddle. Freeze whenever the gossiping Countess turns around, or it's a scandal.
How DreamLayer made it: every painting is an edit chain (generate the scene, then "remove the man in red", then "remove his traces"), all built from one master painting so the cast keeps their faces. The Countess walks with a DreamLayer sprite sheet. Edits drifted about 21% outside the edited area, so I cut every removable thing into its own layer to keep scrubbing seamless. Press G in-game to see every chain with its prompts.
Includes stars, combos, a Hard mode and a twist ending. I'd love your feedback, and I'll be playing and rating all of your games too! 馃帹
