You don’t really need animators. Being an artist is 75% of the job, the rest is drawing the same pose with slight variations. ( i know it’s much more complex than that but you got the hardest part already ). You can have a first person point of view like the cube escape serie. It doesn’t need much animation.

Escoria is godot framework for making point &click games that got everything you need.

Your art reminded me of this unique flash point and click game serie i played long ago on Newgrounds called Nekra Psaria : https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/643486

This lead me to discover he was making the fifth installment of the serie so thank you for reminding me of this game.

You can use ruffle to play flash on your browser (will most likely work ) or download the swf file and play it using flash projector.
