Publisher Happinet and developer Flamebait Games released a Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist Switch port in the west

The starving artist simulator is now available for the hybrid console in the west not long after its Japan debut. Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist has been available for PC (via Steam).

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Draw and Sell Art

Draw and sell art on the go using your handy foldable easel. Explore the endearing puppet town, get to know the residents and what makes them tick. Help them out with commissions, like drawing a new ad for Steve’s restaurant! Or why not buy a studio so you can work from home, just like the good old days?

Earn Fancy Tools

Use your hard-earned cash to treat yourself in the art supplies store. Maybe one of the many new tools will tickle your fancy? The crayon they just got in stock looks pretty sweet! Or perhaps that heart-shaped canvas? You as an artist needs every edge you can get to stand out! The residents of Phénix may also carry some cool items they could give you, if you help them out of course.

Become a True Artist

Revive your art career and take on the challenge of the Museum of the Masters in the art-starved town of Phénix! You are Passpartout, once a renowned artist whose glory was lost after a mysterious disappearance. But now, with your landlord putting you on the street, it’s time to pick up your brush and show the world your true talent.
