Crayation: Color Within is a psychological mascot-horror game and the second main entry in the Crayation series, a narrative-driven project inspired by abandoned creativity, corrupted nostalgia, and the unsettling idea that art can remember more than we do.

Set inside the Art Therapy Wing of Crayation HQ, the game follows Eduardo Lornez, a former janitor returning to a place that once promised healing through creativity. What he finds instead are distorted mascots, broken recordings, and memories embedded into wax, color, and sound.

Unlike traditional mascot horror games, Color Within focuses on exploration, environmental storytelling, and survival across large interconnected spaces rather than simple jump-scare loops. Players must navigate multi-room environments, monitor threats, clean away layers of grime and memory, and piece together what truly happened inside the facility.

At the heart of the experience are two major characters:

Midnight Molly, a calm yet unsettling presence whose voice guides and sometimes manipulates the player through the facility.

Dr. Brady, a clinical researcher whose recorded observations reveal how art therapy at Crayation slowly crossed ethical boundaries.

Voice acting is essential to delivering the emotional weight and psychological tension of these characters. This Kickstarter exists for one primary reason: to fund professional voice performances and ensure that creative contributors are paid fairly.

If funded, the project will allow us to secure professional voice talent for these roles and produce fully voiced performances that elevate the atmosphere and storytelling. Casting details will be shared later through official campaign updates once contracts are finalized.

Development on Crayation: Color Within is already underway, with core systems, environments, and story structure in place. Funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward voice acting costs, related production expenses, and ensuring this chapter of the Crayation story can be completed without cutting corners or exploiting creative labor.

This project is being developed independently, with a strong focus on atmosphere, character, and long-term storytelling. Backer support does not just help fund a game, it helps preserve a creative vision built on respect for both players and collaborators.

Thank you for supporting independent games and for helping bring the next chapter of Crayation to life.
