Please, Touch The Artwork
About
Please, Touch The Artwork gathers a set of tranquil and compelling puzzle games, and interactive stories based on real famous abstract paintings. What would happen if we touched the artwork (in museums)? The game features colorful puzzles, narrative adventures, poetic mazes, interesting quotes, and fun artistic facts.
There are 3 games, each based on a different existing painting, each with unique gameplay.
In the first game called 'The Style', you will experience the origin story of pure abstract art. You'll have to add colors and lines to the canvas to replicate the painting on the left.
The second game tells the story of Boogie & Woogie, two squares who just want to be together, but a rapidly growing world is making it increasingly difficult. You'll have to help Woogie reach Boogie, discovering how the obstacles influence Woogie's path.
In the third game, you move to the big city, only to be overwhelmed with mixed emotions. From joy and excitement to homesickness and missing your friends and family. Will you be able to find your way out of the maze that is New York?
You visit the exhibition of T. Waterzooi, a cutting-edge digital artist and contemporary of Piet Mondrian (Cofounder of art-movement The Style, 1917). While Mondrian advocated for pure abstraction, Waterzooi accidentally discovered an interactive world behind Mondrian's screens. However, people found his work too progressive, and Waterzooi was never accepted into the art community. Now, 200 years later, he finally is.
The title is a reference to the signs in museums telling you not to touch the art. In this game, you finally can!
