Concrete Genie is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by PixelOpus, a developer part of SIE Worldwide Studios, for the PlayStation 4 and it will also support PSVR.

The story takes place in a small town named Denska, which has been mostly abandoned and polluted. As Ash, you will have to deal with demeaning, abusive bullies that steal your notebook, rip out the pages and scatter them throughout the city. Go on a quest to recover the torn pages. Along with this quest, you will discover a paintbrush that can bring life to your paintings, and these creatures not only allow you to solve environmental puzzles but also serve as companions and friends throughout the game.

You will control Ash and use the DualShock 4's motion controls to create landscapes in the town of Denska. These landscapes turn into living portraits. How you paint creatures and what color you paint them will affect their personalities. For example, red paint will grant a creature fire-breathing abilities, or if you make a yellow one, then he has electrical abilities. In addition to freestyle drawing, there is a set of core puzzles in the game that the player will have to solve through their artwork. Slowly you will be able to gain more access to Denska, but at the start of the game, only a single neighborhood will be available. The bullies will move through the town and cause the artwork to die. They can also bully Ash, so you must avoid the bullies as you traverse the town. The player can also fix the ruined artwork.

The game has retained the social commentary that caught people's eyes when it was first presented. It's a reflection of the isolation and darkness that come to victims of bullying. There's even a personal touch. You can create your own custom artwork, but you also risk losing that art to the bullies in the game -- Ash's losses are your losses, too. This could be one of those precious few games that cut close to the bone while it discusses serious themes.
