Art style: DreamWorks-inspired.
DreamWorks-inspired 3D animation, vertical 9:16. Cozy nocturnal apartment, warm amber desk lamp casting long shadows. Max's desk is covered in dynamic ink sketches, spilled ink, and coffee mugs. The sentient Clock character stands rigidly on top of a stack of books, pointing its brass hands like a strict drill sergeant.
