Please, Watch The Artwork
Thomas Waterzooi
Night surveillance at the museum but the paintings are alive. Watch, listen and report all changes. A lonely clown roams the canvases. Deceptive. Weird. Melancholic. Relaxing? No jump scares or monsters, but the game can feel oppressive at times.
Please, Watch The Artwork is a casual yet suspenseful experience where you spot changes in living paintings during your night shift at the MaMA - the Museum of Animated Modern Art.
REPORT ANY CHANGES
Casually flip through surveillance camera’s and report any changes by clicking them and specifying the kind of change. Use the zoom function to delve into every intricate detail.
THE PAINTINGS ARE ALIVE
These aren’t your ordinary artworks. They depict animated slices of everyday life. Moments that loop endlessly inside the frame. An American diner at midnight. A woman lost in thought.
CLOWNS?
A mysterious sad clown is roaming from canvas to canvas, and his sadness is starting to infect the other paintings.
THEMED GALLERIES
5 levels with 6 to 7 paintings per level bundled by theme and subject.
Showcasing over 40 paintings from American realism painter Edward Hopper.
NO JUMPSCARES, NO MONSTERS
It's just you, the night… and the paintings.
Oh… and of course there’s the clown.
Caution: the game can make you feel paranoid, melancholic and isolated.
ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDSCAPES
There is no music, only the ambient sounds of the scenes depicted in the artworks. Ranging from relaxing rain to character voices and New York city soundscapes. However, sounds can also be anomalies, so you’ll have to listen carefully.
MULTIPLE DIFFICULTY LEVELS + COZY MODE
The game can get quiet difficult at times because changes can be very subtle. But no worries, there are 3 difficulty modes for each kind of player.
There is even a cozy mode without time pressure and no game over.
Just report changes at your own pace.
PLAYABLE IN MANY LANGUAGES
English, Nederlands, Français, Español, Español (Latin Americano), Português, Português (Brasil), Italiano, Deutsch, Türkçe, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文.
