About This Game

In Art House, step into the life of Lisa, mother to Ollie and Zoe, who's struggling to pick up the pieces of her life after the passing of her mother, Betty. After returning to Betty's mountain home, Lisa and her kids get trapped inside of Betty's paintings where her memories come to life. Guide Lisa through hauntingly beautiful paintings while solving puzzles and confronting the shadows of the family’s past. Navigate a journey through grief and towards healing that lingers after the final brushstroke.
