Metroidvanias are one of the most popular indie game genres, as you can also tell from a recent interview about Possessor(s). Of course, with so much competition, especially from the 'indie GTA 6' that has been Hollow Knight: Silksong, it's more crucial than ever to stand out. Constance certainly shares a similar kind of hand-drawn animated style, but one crucial difference is that it's so much more colourful and brighter. It's rather fitting, too, since the titular protagonist explores and fights with an enchanted paintbrush.
It's also quite a different aesthetic from Berlin-based independent production company btf (also specialising in fiction, shows, documentaries, and adverts, as well as games), whose work I previously encountered was the 2019 graphical adventure game Trüberbrook, which resembled a stop-motion animation with handmade environments.
