A metroidvania with adventure elements, made by the creators of the point&click adventure game Truberbrook. In Constance, we assume the role of a female painter descending into madness. We explore the locations created by her mind, using brushes and paint as weapons.
After the warmly received Truberbrook was released in 2019, the studio btf games, operating under the umbrella of the German company bildundtonfabrik (also known as btf) firmly established itself in the video game industry. Over time, its portfolio was expanded by productions such as The Berlin Apartment and the metroidvania titled Constance described here.
In Constance events are viewed from the side. This is a platforming action game with adventure elements, where we play as a painter descending into madness, seeking a way out of a world created by her mind.
During the game we jump across platforms, avoid traps, and navigate environmental obstacles, as well as deal with opponents. Each of these mechanics is tied to paint, and the brush wielded by the protagonist allows her to gain momentum in the air or extend her jumps. Additionally, the painting tools serve Constance as weapons used in battles against regular enemies and much stronger bosses. There are also puzzles waiting to be solved.
We must be cautious, as using painting techniques gradually damages the paint of the main character. Allowing it to become completely contaminated results in negative effects being applied to the protagonist. Death also has consequences - after we die we decide whether we want to start from a checkpoint or pay a price to continue from the point of failure.
On the other hand, as Constance progresses, she finds inspirations that allow her to create sketches in her journal, granting her access to upgrades and ability modifications. These enable her to face increasingly greater challenges over time. The adventure takes her through various interconnected locations, whose appearance is linked to the protagonist's mental health and her history.
The graphic design of Constance is maintained in a cartoon style.

Game Ratings for Constance Video Game.
Completexbox: 80 / 100
I’m a sucker for well-done hand-drawn art. Constance delivers this with its abstract world, exceptional animation, and weird but interesting level design. Each slash of your paintbrush adds energy to the world, and every movement feels alive. The audio is a masterful atmospheric treat. The dynamic soundtrack delivers a unique blend of energy for each zone. Furthermore, there are booming tunes for each boss encounter. The controls demand a ridiculous level of dexterity. You must master different special inputs and rapid button pressing as you disable traps, avoid pits, and leap from platform to platform. The button bashing feels great for experienced players, but not achievable for younger gamers. I played this for around 15 hours, but I didn’t find every secret. If you are more competent than I, you’ll get this done in around 10-12 hours. Subsequently, it isn’t the biggest game I’ve played.

Art can be messy and complicated, testing creatives in ways other professions do not. But the tale of Constance is one of perseverance in the face of strife and moving ahead despite future challenges. The narrative hits hard for those wanting to make art, and through challenging boss encounters, engaging combat, and fun platforming, it succeeds in expressing those powerful themes. This is one painting worth buying in a sea of amazing Metroidvanias on the market.

Constance is a game about confronting your inner darkness. Its hand-drawn cartoony art style won me over initially. Its challenging platforming puzzles and boss fights that required me to fully utilize the plethora of techniques I’d learned throughout the journey kept me engaged and always felt satisfying to complete. This fluid and extremely rewarding gameplay loop alone solidifies Constance as a must-play platformer. The heartfelt story at the core of it all is a welcome added bonus.
