A handpainted cozy hidden object adventure. Explore a surreal world. Collect items for its quirky inhabitants. Fix damaged paintings and solve casual puzzles. Help a lost skeleton painter find his way home. This game is short but 100% FREE (no ads, no dlc's).
The game transports players into the surreal, hand-painted universe of Belgian artist James Ensor. As a skeleton artist, you navigate between Ensor's iconic works, which come alive with subtle animations and interactions. This creates a sense of stepping directly into the paintings, fostering a deeper appreciation for the source material.
Woven throughout the painted environments are hidden object challenges. Players must closely examine each scene, meticulously searching for the various items requested by the quirky characters that inhabit this world. The hidden objects blend seamlessly into the detailed artwork, requiring keen observation to uncover them.
The game also features mini-games where players must restore damaged sections of the paintings. Using tools like tape, you mend rips and cracks in the canvas, further immersing yourself in the creative process and the artwork itself.
An intuitive hint system aids players without compromising the exploration. A lit lightbulb icon indicates whether any hidden objects remain in the current scene, helping to guide your search without directly revealing their locations.
The overall design promotes a relaxing, atmospheric experience. The gentle pacing, soothing classical music soundtrack, and freedom to wander and appreciate the artwork all contribute to a zen-like state of mind. Players have praised the game's ability to facilitate a contemplative engagement with the creative works.
