Spoiler: completely amazing. These are just illustrations, but let’s make this happen, game designers.
Season 1: "Welcome to Hellmouth".
These are the work of Andrew Scaife, a 34-year-old Bristol-based designer.
He tells BuzzFeed: "There's some really incredible talent out there making pixel art and it was seeing their work which first inspired me. At first I just wanted to see how to do it, so after a few YouTube tutorials I had the basics. My first attempt was making some characters from the third season of American Horror Story. I then wanted to try something more complex that had more atmosphere and lush backgrounds."
Season 2: "Inca Mummy Girl".
"I'd first thought of using the LucasArts style as a template because those games are amazing, and then because I love the story telling aspect of them. It wasn't enough to just have the picture. I wanted to try and tell the story too. And Buffy has probably had more of an influence on me, as a creator, and a consumer, than anything."
Season 3: "Homecoming".
"The first one I made was for 'Hush'. I thought that clock tower location would look great with the hovering Gentlemen. It was once I'd finished the main screen art and started filling the inventory that I thought to make it into a series of pictures, one for each season. All I could then think of is how the game would work."
Season 4: "Hush".
"At first I was going to keep each one quite broad and bring in elements of other episodes from the same season. In the 'Hush' one I'd included a bag of toenail clippings from Buffy's roommate and some cheese slices. But after that, what decided each picture was either a desire to show a location, or a joke that made me laugh. I knew I had to do one with Cordelia's spatula. I knew I had to use certain locations like the library and the Bronze."
