The Swapper is an atmospheric 2D puzzle platformer, constructed using clay models and other everyday materials for a uniquely detailed look and feel. The game takes place on an abandoned space station and tackles the implications of the ‘Swapper’ - a device that can clone the user and transfer consciousness between different bodies. Coming Spring 2013!

Colors look kinda too pastel if you ask me. It's like overly used bloom or something. Is this intentional? Cause it bothers me a little.
I guess what caught your eye is the area close to the door on the right side.There's very little bloom in that scene and it's only affecting the parts with very bright lights. I think the look has more to do with the way the textures are generated from photographs.
A more technical explanation would be: The engine uses self-shadowing normal maps. That tends to generate some errors because not all needed information can be encoded into the texture. Badly placed lights make the errors visible. That is probably what causes the hazed look on that area.
Also there's some fog in there and the colors are heavily tuned towards blue.
