6	''Pastel Games'' was a [[http://www.pastelgames.com/ web game site]] showcasing the games of Mateusz Skutnik, Karol Konwerski and their colleagues. The games be split into two main groups: point and click adventure games and casual platforming games. All the games feature SceneryPorn thanks to the unique artstyle Mateusz utilizes.

8	The Pastel Games brand has since disbanded, and as of 2016 Pastel Games redirects to Mateusz Skutnik's own website, [[http://www.mateuszskutnik.com/ mateuszskutnik.com]]. Mateusz Skutnik remains active individually and released his latest major game in 2021.

11	!!Major games and game series include:
12	[[index]]
13	* ''VideoGame/{{Submachine}}'' - The site's flagship series, these eerie games deal with the mystery of ancient portals strewn across a number of dimensions and the player character's efforts to navigate the network.
14	* ''VideoGame/CovertFront'' - Set in an AlternateHistory where UsefulNotes/WorldWarI takes place about a decade earlier, secret agent Kara must investigate into the disappearance of a scientist involved in a top secret project. This series is now complete.
15	* ''The Fog Fall'' - A man emerges from his nuclear fallout bunker to find the nuked-out United States to be quite a different place.
16	* ''VideoGame/DaymareTown'' - A stark-white abandoned town must have its mysteries unraveled.
17	* ''Tortuga'' - An imprisoned man must escape from an island ruled by pirates.
18	* ''VideoGame/TheGreatEscapeSeries'' - You escape from various rooms. One of the more lighthearted series. Not to be confused with the [[GreatEscape trope]] or the [[Film/TheGreatEscape movie]].
19	* ''The Squirrel Family'' - a series of arcades featuring comical squirrels engaging in whatever shenanigans they come up with.
20	* ''VideoGame/SliceOfSea'' - Mateusz Skutnik's first major standalone puzzle game since the Pastel Games era, about a mysterious figure trying to navigate their way to the ocean through an unfamiliar landscape.

24	!!Tropes common in these works include:
25	* BeautifulVoid: Especialy the later Submachines feature locations with fabulous architecture even if partially decayed. You won't meet a single soul anywhere.
26	* NothingIsScarier: The point and click games tend to have little if any character interaction, creepy atmospheric soundtracks, and [[BeautifulVoid stark, deserted environments]].
27	%%* OntologicalMystery
28	%%* PixelHunt
29	* PointAndClickGame: Most of their works are traditional adventures based on finding clues and solving puzzles. There is little to no interaction with [[NonPlayerCharacter npcs]] though and since the games are mostly viewed from first person perspective you have no idea who your PlayerCharacter is or [[FeaturelessProtagonist what do they look like]].
30	* SceneryPorn: Despite being hand-drawn most games feature incredibly detailed scenery.
