# LOC017_DRIVE

Pixel art, VGA 256-colour palette, 480x320 pixels (displayed at 240x160), style of early 1990s point-and-click adventure games such as Police Quest or King's Quest VI. Hard pixel edges throughout, no anti-aliasing, no modern rendering techniques. Muted period-appropriate colour palette. Static background scene, no UI elements, no text overlays.

Looking through open wrought-iron park gates, down a gravel drive dusted with snow that curves gently toward a small red-brick Georgian manor house, larger and more prominent than a distant speck — its full facade clearly readable even from across the parkland. Tyre tracks run the length of the drive toward the parked car, crossed by numerous footprints criss-crossing the snow in several directions. A high stone wall flanks the gates. A 1920s police constable stands by one gate-pier, rendered with clear detail: navy tunic with a row of buttons, a wide leather belt, dark trousers, and the distinctive domed custodian helmet with a small badge visible at the front; his pose is upright and watchful, hands loosely clasped behind his back. Snow-covered parkland spreads either side, largely open, with only a few bare winter trees scattered well back toward the tree-line rather than close to the viewer. Far left, barely visible against the tree-line, a small octagonal Victorian summer house. An old black 1920s police saloon — round headlamps, running boards, spare wheel — is parked on the drive in front of the house. Snow also covers the path running around the house, more footprints crossing it near the entrance. Stone lions and steps mark the entrance; the symmetrical brick facade shows two sash windows on each side of the central pedimented front door, evenly spaced across the ground floor, with a matching row of windows above. To the right of the house, and further back still, low brick outbuilding roofs are just visible beyond it, kept well below the house's own roofline. A path to the right of the house runs off between an avenue of statues on plinths, spaced at intervals and rendered as simple pale stone silhouettes. To the left of the house, a snow-covered tennis court is faintly suggested by the line of its net and boundary markings. Colour palette: red brick, cream trim, pale gravel, grey-white snow, navy constable's uniform, dark iron and trees, muted overcast sky. Flat winter daylight. No other figures.
