What if you could paint music?
That’s the heartfelt, artistic premise behind Beat Brush: Draw Music, the upcoming cozy game from indie developer Kesha Games. Launching in 2026 on Steam, Beat Brush invites players to create beautiful soundscapes by simply moving a brush — no musical or artistic skill required. It’s not a rhythm game. It’s a personal experience. A journey of recovery through interactive expression.
🎨 Music You Can See, Art You Can Hear
In Beat Brush, every brushstroke becomes music. Players guide a brush through 40 hand-crafted musical worlds, ranging from pixel-art valleys to whimsical Ghibli-style dreamscapes. Whether drawing flowers, buildings, or shimmering constellations, players control the direction, speed, and emotion of the soundtrack in real time.
It’s not just a game. It’s a canvas for the soul.
🌈 Key Features
- Draw the Music: Your brush is your instrument. Each movement plays a note, chord, or beat.

- No Skills Needed: Created for relaxation and self-expression. No fail states, no scoring — just flow.

- Play Your Way: Built with Construct 3, ensuring smooth, lightweight performance with a focus on creative freedom.
🧠 A Game About Burnout, Made by Someone Who Lived It
Beat Brush isn’t just a cozy game. It’s a deeply personal project.
After burning out in a high-pressure corporate leadership role, the solo developer behind Kesha Games left the industry to return to creativity. The game’s story follows a young woman, once full of promise, who crashes from success into burnout — and finds herself walking through a gallery of her own life, reimagined as living paintings.
“Beat Brush is the game I needed when I burned out. So I made it.” — Kesha, developer
🧘 A Meditative Tool — Backed by Science
To ensure Beat Brush is more than just relaxing, the developer has collaborated with a licensed psychotherapist and partnered with researchers on a scientific study to evaluate the game’s impact on stress and mental wellness. The findings will be published in an academic journal — and used to improve the game further.
🌍 Global Accessibility
Beat Brush will launch in over 30 languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, Japanese, and more — making it accessible to players worldwide.
