DisplaceMen
DisplaceMen is a magic realist ADV that depicts a seven-day mystery story with multiple scenarios and endings. In the coastal town of Huanmen, everyone knows how to ‘displace’—to turn any item or even living being they own into another, as long as the two have equivalent psychological value. Displaced things will vanish and be forgotten. You are a broke painter who wanders around the town, collecting the strangest things to make art. While chatting with your commissioners, with a painter’s eye to observe and imagine, you will unveil the true faces of these people - the motivational speaker, the trace scholar with a day job as a tattoo artist, the hardcore cosplayer teenager, the wanted pseudoscientist, etc. Working to redeem the vanished “mermaid,” you will accumulate properties until you realize you can displace people. Deciding what to let go of is a painter’s practice. Stay sensitive. Stay gold.
