Silicon Studio’s coming otome game for mobile Palette Parade (パレットパレード) has finally unveiled all 30 characters. They are all the modern reincarnation of famous artists.
The game is set for release in 2018.
▍Story
In Palette Parade, players will play as the acting director of an extremely typical art museum. In this ordinary place, however, there is a group of extraordinary male artists who want to make the museum vibrant again with the female protagonist.
▍Artists
■ Post-Impressionism
Vincent van Gogh (CV: Yuma Uchida) is a passionate, outgoing, and positive painter. He is a friend of Gaugin.
Eugene Henri Paul Gaugin (CV:????) is tired of living. As a fan of nature, he sometimes gets too indulged in his own imagination.
■ Hyperrealism
Gustave Courbet (CV: Ryota Osaka) is cool and realistic, which explains his disgust with dreams and imagination, as well as his negative attitude towards Van Gogh. He doesn’t draw things that he has never seen.
Jean-Francois Millet (CV:????) doesn’t understand why he has such an unfortunate life despite being a hardworking person. He yearns for elegance but at the same time resents it a bit. A gardening buddy of Monet!
■ Renaissance
Leonardo da Vinci (CV: Yuichi Iguchi) is a child prodigy who excels artistically and academically. He can talk about love in a very calm manner – unless Michelangelo is around.
Michelangelo di Ludovico Buonarroti Simoni (CV:????) always stays home and he has no faith in other people. He may look ordinary but his talent is definitely on a par with Da Vinci. Van Gogh and Raffaelo can make him unable to function normally.
Raffaello Santi (CV:????) takes the role of an elder brother in most people’s hearts. His warm and kind nature makes him a trustworthy person.
Jan van Eyck (CV:????) is the younger brother of Hubert. A pampered kid, but somehow manages to encourage others by saying “do your best!”.
Hubert van Eyck (CV:????) is smart but doesn’t believe he is smart enough. He is the happiest when he can provide some help. Jan is his first priority.
■ Impressionism
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (CV: Tetsuya Kakihara) is always positive, but he has no limit to what he says. A good friend of Monet, Sisley and Bazille.
Claude Monet (CV:????) is loved by everyone for his cheerful attitude. The “squad leader” of Renoir, Sisley and Bazille.
Alfred Sisley (CV:????) always smiles. He lives a sheltered life but can still overcome adversity.
Jean Frederic Bazille (CV:????) looks like he doesn’t care, but he usually cares. Quick-witted and practical also.
Edouard Manet (CV:????) has the guts to disagree what most people agree. Showing no fear of authorities is why others admire him.
■ Baroque
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (CV:Natsuki Hanae) has a personality that heals, making him a popular listener among friends. His innocence worries Gustave though.
Peter Paul Rubens (CV:????) has a high aesthetic standard. A peace maker, a linguistic talent, a dog lover, and the teacher of Van Dyck.
Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez (CV:????) has a sharp instinct. He usually gets away from telling others what is on his mind with the excuse “need to smoke”.
Anthony van Dynk (CV:????) is extremely picky aesthetically. Sometimes his standard is quite out of the norm.
■ Japan
Katsushika Hokusai (CV:????) lives a carefree life. He comes and goes like a shadow, but actually he is just lost. Unable to take care of himself properly, he heavily relies on Seiki and Millet.
Kuroda Seiki (CV:????) talks to everyone in the tone of a teacher. A sadist and an idealist.
Utagawa Hiroshigo (CV:????) is a pretty guy who wants to look wild and manly but fails to do so.
■ Romanticism
Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix (CV:????) is too lazy to think. He likes rock and roll, yet he desires a romantic lifestyle. Ingres is very irritating to him.
■ Mannerism
Domenikos Theotokopoulos (CV:????) can fight but can’t communicate with others casually. He doesn’t hate people. He is just not good at talking.
■ Modern
Edvard Munch (CV:????) talks to things that do not exist…An innocent, happy and eccentric kid in general.
Alfons Maria Mucha (CV:????) wears a mysterious smile that no one can understand. He is very detailed minded.
■ Rococo
Antonie Wateau (CV:????) goes after love. He enjoys every moment – a typical hedonist. Renoir and Monet are his good friends.
■ Gothic
Giotto di Bondone (CV:????) always looks after other people. He tells jokes that none ever understands.
■ Neoclassicism
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (CV:????) is a serious guy. He makes sure everything is correct and calculated carefully. Zero tolerance to casualness.
▍Other Characters
Dominique Vivant Denon (CV:????) is the one who turns an old church into this great art museum. He likes travelling, and this is why he needs to recruit a helper to get his job done.
Cameron Palette is the mascot of the museum.
