Molestown is a cute game built by the DGPH studio from Argentina. Its aesthetics is taken from the trends of the Toy Art movement in Argentina. DGPH was one of first studios, along with the renowned studio DOMA, to experiment with this style and start doodling around cute characters (but with a bit of a dark side) in every wall they found.
