Eclair Games showcased a new developer overview trailer for their hand-drawn adventure game RatScum during the Women-Led Games event tied to Summer Game Fest 2026.
The lineup for Summer Game Fest keeps expanding, and one of the most distinct artistic entries to surface recently is RatScum from developer Eclair Games. Featured as part of the Women-Led Games showcase, the title just dropped a comprehensive developer overview trailer that gives players a deeper look at its distinct hand-drawn aesthetic and world. Hand-drawn visual styles continue to be a powerful way for indie projects to stand out in a crowded market dominated by hyper-realism.
Eclair Games is leaning into a gritty, tactile art direction that immediately sets the tone for the adventure ahead. While detailed gameplay mechanics are still rolling out, the overview highlights the creative vision driving the project. For players who treat indie releases as vital cultural moments rather than just casual time-killers, the project offers a refreshing change of pace from massive live-service grinds.
As anticipation builds toward the full release, trailers like this give the community plenty to dissect on creator streams and community hubs. You can check out the original coverage and watch the trailer over at IGN South Africa to see the hand-drawn world in motion for yourself.
