Bub

Bub is the story of an artist in New York City. He paints, sculpts and makes worlds for people to explore. But he’s losing his gift, you see. He's sick. Bub is the story of an artist turning his memories into art while he still can. Bub’s journey through his past is mirrored by changes in artistic style and mood, from ink drawings to rough cut paper puppets to abstracted slashes of paint. Thousands of cut paper pieces, painted frames and collages form the uniquely textured and layered stop-motion world of ‘Bub.’ The result is something personal and unique, analog artworks that create a living, breathing game world.

Bub's the artistic project of Case and Todd, two friends in Brooklyn. Over the years and through life's complexities, the game has became a record of personal experience, a kind of memory palace if you will. Expect artistic style, mood and sonic feeling to fluidly change as the story unfolds through the stream of conscious musings of Bub, voiced by Whitmer Thomas, fresh off his supporting role in the critically acclaimed film 'Weapons.'

Adam Schatz, of bands Landlady and Japanese Breakfast, has laid down a stunning blanket of music and sound to bring the world of Bub to life. Asher Kurtz of Old Feels has contributed beautiful and textured guitar arrangements, while the duo of Somepoint Sound have contributed a broad range of effects and sound design to immerse the player into the memories and streets and intimate spaces of Bub.
