About the game
One curtain. One dorm room. One very shy colour genius.
Riku Hayase didn't come from a famous school. He spent a year retaking the entrance exam to get into Shiratori Academy of Art, the best art school in the country. He's brilliant with a pencil and weak with colour, because his family could never afford art prep school. When he's nervous, he recites painters' names and life stories to calm down.
On his first day he gets hit in the face with a sketchbook. The girl who threw it is about to place first in the Placement Test. Then he finds out she's his roommate.
Rin Tsukishiro — “Ice Queen Tsukishiro”. A colour genius who mixes every colour she needs from three primaries and white, and so shy she blushes faster than she can turn a page. The only thing between their beds is a curtain… and a growing list of roommate rules written on pink sticky notes.
And then there's life drawing class.
Short description
A romantic comedy visual novel set in Japan's top art academy. Riku can draw anything in pencil — but his new roommate is the girl who placed first in the Placement Test, and only a curtain separates their beds. Draw your way through mini-games where your score changes the story.
Features
- Draw to change the story — sketch, colour and guess-the-drawing mini-games. An AI judge scores your work, and your score unlocks different choices and scenes.
- Branching story with multiple endings — the higher your score, the more daring the choices you can make.
- A colourful supporting cast — a rival who burns with pride, a gentle giant who cries easily, an information broker with a camera, and a very eccentric professor.
- Roommate rules — every misunderstanding adds another sticky note to the board.
- Four languages — English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
Characters
-
Rin Tsukishiro 月城 凛 · Age 19
First place in the Placement Test. Everyone calls her “Ice Queen Tsukishiro” because she never talks to anyone or teams up with anyone — but really, she's so shy she blushes faster than she can turn a page. A colour genius who mixes everything from three primaries and white. Her words say one thing; her actions say another.
-
Asuka Jinguji 神宮寺 明日香 · Age 19
The young heiress of the Jinguji Group and Rin's self-proclaimed rival. Second place to Rin on every test for three years of high school. Handmade French charcoal, a white beret, and an “Ohohoho” laugh. Sharp tongue, kind heart.
-
Chinatsu Saotome 早乙女 千夏 · Age 19
The class information broker, with short hair, round glasses and an old-fashioned camera around her neck. She keeps a file on everyone — including the new guy.
-
Professor Akane Asahina 朝比奈 茜 · Age 28
Head of the Visual Arts Department. Passionate about art to the point of tears — and she announces expulsions with exactly the same radiant smile.
-
Suzu Kasuga 春日 鈴 · Age 22
The brand-new dorm supervisor, on her third day on the job. Trips over flat ground, forgets things halfway through a sentence, and is very proud of the room assignment that put Riku and Rin together.
-
Daigo Kumadaki 熊抱 大吾 · Age 19
Riku's first friend. About 190 cm tall and a former judo captain, he carries a pink pencil case covered in flower stickers and draws the cutest little flowers and animals. Gentle, and cries easily.
-

AI disclosure
Brush with Temptation uses AI tools. OtterGon is a tiny team making games after work, with no budget to hire anyone, so we use AI to move faster. This is the same disclosure we give on Steam.
Pre-generated: Character art, CGs, backgrounds and UI art use compositions generated with AI image tools, which the developer then extensively corrected, retouched and checked by hand. Background music and sound effects were generated with AI tools. The story and dialogue were written by the developer and proofread with AI assistance; the English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese translations were produced with AI assistance. The game's code was written with AI coding assistance.
Live-generated: None. The drawing mini-games use an AI model only to score the player's drawing; it does not generate any content.
