About This Game

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.

SIX THEMED GALLERIES

Six levels with six to seven paintings per level bundled by theme and subject. Showcasing more than 40 paintings in total, 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.

THREE 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.
