BG_MENU - TIC TAC ROGUE

Generated from: 16-bit era pixel art game background, 16:9, opaque full-bleed illustration, hard pixel edges, no anti-aliasing, no soft gradients, no blur, chunky pixels, crisp readable shapes, dithered shading only. Scene: a cozy candlelit tavern study at night, seen from a low angle behind a desk. Dark wooden desk surface across the lower two thirds, a wooden tic-tac-toe board with a carved grid and chunky blue X and deep red O wooden tokens resting on it, scattered gold coins, a lit ivory candle with a small warm flame, shelves of old books and a potted plant behind, a tall window on the right showing a moonlit castle silhouette against a deep blue night sky. The LEFT THIRD of the frame is deliberately dark, empty and low contrast: plain deep brown-black shadow with no props, no bright highlights, no detail, so menu buttons sit legibly on top of it. Everything interesting is on the right two thirds. Palette: deep brown-black #141013, warm wood #3a2a22, cream #f2e6d0, gold #e8b73a, enemy red #c8324b, player blue #4a7fd6. Mood: premium tabletop game at night, candlelit tavern, warm and moody. Absolutely no text, no letters, no numbers, no logos, no watermarks, no UI panels or buttons anywhere in the image.
