First idea of play style: more dark to the dark god.
The original idea was to make the game completely black and white. A kind of hybrid of Soviet magazines and drawings by John Kenn Mortensen. But huge problems arose with the interface - the visibility of descriptions, indicators, icons. It all merged together.

The emergence of color, Boris on the style.
With different colors, the hero and enemies have become more contrasting, and the interface elements are more noticeable. Two complementary colors were chosen - magenta and cyan. They came to the developer's mind from the clips of the artists of the Trap genre, which he was actively looking at that moment in his life.
Boris
Lil Peep is the most popular member of the Trap genre
Vector or “I don’t want to make animation for 5 years”.
And here, for some inexplicable reason, the drawing became annoying, which, moreover, put sticks in the wheels regarding animation, since working with raster graphics is quite difficult, editing, splitting into layers and deformation took a lot of time. The preference has gone to the direction of vector graphics.\
Also, the introduced magenta and cyan colors have become anchored to objects in order to clearly separate characters and different types of cards.

The idea of a child's sleep. Boris is final.
The further the development went, the further the idea developed: instead of banal monsters and ghosts, preference was given to toys, fairy tales and other things that surrounded children. The idea came up to ridicule the society of adults, making the enemies vicious and unprepossessing (lame, anxious, drinking, using drugs, suffering from obesity). Against this background, Boris, who was originally drawn with the proportions of illustrations from old Soviet books, became as alien as possible to the general play style, and a completely new Boris 2.0 appeared. More angry and furious. Skinny, sinewy, but strong as snail teeth.
