10 Beautiful Postcards is an exploration-focused Art Game assembled by thecatamites (the creator of Space Funeral). The sole goal is to travel across multiple environments in search of ten different hotel rooms/postcards. It is currently available on Itch.io.
Multiple beautiful Tropes:
- Acid-Trip Dimension: The setting of the game is one big absurdity, where you walk on doodles and can pass through walls.
- Art Game: The environments are bizarre, and the plot is just an excuse to explore.
- Art-Style Clash: Sometimes the art style clashes in the same room, let alone across different areas, as seen in the picture chosen for this page.
- Excuse Plot: The "quest" for ten postcards. There's no reason to get the postcards other than for the sake of collecting them, with the journey to each destination being the main appeal.
- Ridiculous Exchange Rates: One area involves hotel workers trying to start a towel-based economy because guests keep taking them from the rooms. Immediately, some birds decided that making their own towels would be more beneficial, leading to an exchange rate of 2 million towel-bux for an apple.
- Unexpected Gameplay Change: Some of the areas take a sudden jump into 3D controls, such as Bird Zone.
