About the Game

Studio Sim is a strange art game created by a painter. Make paintings by layering and positioning stickers, then ship them via a freight elevator to elevate your social status.

Shipped paintings from Studio Sim get posted to various social media websites as part of the Studio Sim Gallery!

Use wonky prefab patterns and shapes as tools to make abstract paintings. 

Studio Sim Steam UI

Hang your finished works in the gallery and invite Studio Sim visitors to come and react to your work.
