Tintin - Prisoners of the Sun

Screenshots

A beige-walled interior room displays five characters in 16-bit sprite style positioned across a wooden floor. Two tall windows with landscape views flank the upper walls, with a ceiling lamp between them. Three figures in colored clothing stand on the right side, while two others occupy the left. A wooden bench and table sit center-stage. The bottom-right corner shows a black silhouette panel, likely a game UI element. The color palette uses earth tones and muted hues typical of SNES-era graphics.
