"My 5 minute game took me like 5 years to draw by hand": one dev broke 50 pencils to make this gorgeous "interactive illustration"

Screenshot of a Short Trip, showing a sketch of a tram riding up a bridge.

Short Trip stays true to its name in that the game really doesn't take too long to see all the way through, but its developer spent five whole years drawing every inch of its gorgeous world by hand.

For those unfamiliar, Short Trip is a side-scrolling game where you play as a tram-conducting cat that needs to pick up and drop off other trench coat wearing cats along a serene countryside-core world. You either hold the right or left arrow buttons to move the tram, and you can even ride right past the felines waiting at each station, making it more of a tranquil drawing to unwind with rather than an objective-fuelled game.
