Hello, and welcome to a special preview feature, highlighting a newly announced game that is currently in active development. Announced on August 5th 2025, Beat Brush from Kesha Games is coming soon to PC platforms. This title is a unique mix of cosy aesthetics, music and interactive art, where every movement paints sound across vibrant images. So please join me as I share some details of this title, as I was given a special hands-on preview.
Disclaimer: before I get into discussing this content, I want to extend my thanks to Kesha Games for reaching out, providing me with a special preview demo of the game. This title is currently in development, so my experience and the details provided may change.
Now with the introductions out of the way, let’s get into this special preiew, I will be giving some details about the game and then some personal thoughts.
About the game
Beat Brush is a new experimental title in the cosy games genre, mixing music and artistic expression. The premise is simple yet thought provoking, it’s the story of a girl who had it all, and burned out. On the edge of death, she revisits the events of her life as a gallery of living paintings. While exploring the gallery of life, every brushstroke and movement creates sound, giving life to the images that appear on screen.
Across 40 handcrafted events, experience a variety of imagery from pixelated landscapes, tranquil skies with paper planes and Studio Ghibli inspired dreamscapes. Each of these scenes tells a story, with details of the life that the girl lived, accompanied by the sounds of piano, theremin and more. As each movement of the mouse is made, the environment will change with greenery, flowers and paint that changes from level to level.
There will be mechanics that change from stage to stage, with some of them being a little more challenging than others. Is intended to keep the experience feeling exciting, with some elements of traditional games that have been added. Within the experience of Beat Brush, there is no predetermined goal in place, just the journey of the player and their brush. They can add as much or as little sound as they need, letting their feelings guide them.
In this game, there is a score element and rating system present. This will provide replay value for players, as previous scenes can be returned to, allowing players to enjoy the music again. But the true focus is on the journey, with the arcade and puzzle moments being a companion, not an adversary to the player. The themes of burnout, ambition and healing at the forefront, the aim here is to provide a restorative and reflective experience.
Personal Thoughts
Having been allowed a taste of Beat Brush through the special development demo, I can see the promise and intention behind it. The essence of cosy gaming is at the core of this experience, with the goal of providing an interactive meditative space. From what I have been able to play, I believe in the message of Beat Brush, telling a story that is reflective and soothes the soul. The depth and beauty of the game in motion further adds to this.
Having been allowed to get hands-on with an early build, I was able to play but a snippet of the true potential that can be realised. From this I can see the passion and creativity, which this solo developer has poured into this project. You can feel how deeply personal this is to creator, which is relatable with how common it is to feel burnout. It may feel basic and simple, but it is that simplicity that allows the magic of this experience to shine.
I am very hopeful to see more of this game, it is in early development, so things may change over time, with the details here varying from the final product. I will be keeping an eye on this game, seeing how it evolves and grows, looking forward to covering the full experience when it is ready. This is one of those games to watch, it is a little rough around the edges, but I expect them to be rounded off in the comings months.
