A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


In the small island country of Liliana, lays Clarke, an artist who just so happens to be a marble. They're having some trouble, you see. They're facing the worst thing that can happen to a creative: artist's block. Following the footsteps of their favorite artists, they're out on the town to find a muse! That's where you come in! It's your job to guide Clarke to their next muse and maybe even help them find love along the way. Will you make Clarke's next piece the best portrait Liliana has ever seen, or will they continue be stuck with their artist's block?

This demo is great so far! I really like all the marble designs. I hope there's more "marble world building" in the full game, like they narration mention humans as things that exist elsewhere, and the fact that the Lillies are all from the same home country. Is a manufacture style sort of like an ethnic group? How are baby marbles made? Clarke gets seen by others as young and feminine and mentions it might have to do with the clearness of their glass. All very curious....

All the characters are great too. I like how Clarke's backstory is sprinkled into relevant scenes. Their relationship with Lilco is quite interesting!

LOVE THISSSSSSSS

HELL YEAAAAHHH! I hope you're excited for the full release then. Mark your calendar for January 10 👀

Hi! I really want to play this game, but I can't opened it. I'm in MAC btw!

Hi! For MAC, you'll need to open the AMarblesMuse.app! Somewhere in that folder should be the executable for Mac users. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try my best to assist you. Sorry for such the vague explanation, I'm not a Mac user. 😭
