About This Game

The Curator is a gallery management roguelite where every artwork placement can make or break your night. You are a traveling art curator rolling a caravan into town; arranging, curating, and surviving one crowd at a time.

Organize and Curate

Start by organizing your artists’ artworks with classic drag & drop gameplay. Evaluate the artwork's skills and create the most appropriate layout plan to boost income, help other artworks to survive, speed up your visitors and improve many more stats. 

Showcase Your Curation

Present your collection to picky visitors and watch the synergies triggering, manipulating their brains, and squeeze out every last sale before the night is over.

Upgrade Your Caravan

As you progress, the visitors will offer you special upgrades and tools. Choose the best ones that suits your current needs. Upgrade your books, level up your artists, get tools to gain passive powers.

Unlock Tools, City Events, Artists and Artwork Skills

Spend your hard-earned meta coins to unlock new mechanics that speed up your progress and keep an eye on inevitable city events.

  • Gallery as puzzle: grid-based placement where neighbor tags and artwork preferences activate synergies.

  • Every visitor decision matters: Every visitor weighs tag preferences, dynamic price tiers, and personality type before buying.

  • 5 visitor types with distinct behavior: Collector, HODLer, Tourist, Student, Common.

  • 4 Special Visitors, each with unique mechanics: Catch the Thief, earn from the Child and Wise, react to the Celebrity's timed flash events.

  • 16 Art Tags: Abstract, Colorful, Nature, Photography, Sculpture, Painting, and 10 more.

  • Upgrade system: Books and Tools with UNIQUE and STACKABLE effects. Find combinations that break the daily curve.

  • Meta-progression that compounds across runs: Unlock deeper pools of artists, artworks, skills, and upgrades.

  • Daily escalation: harder thresholds, more visitors, more demanding preferences every single day.

  • City Events: Mid/late-game modifiers that hit hard but reward harder.

  • Toon-shaded 64-color palette art, all produced in Blender by me.

  • Procedurally orchestrated soundtrack that listens to game events and fires in musical sync, including every UI interaction.

  • City Events: Unique mid/late-game events: high-penalty conditions, high-value rewards (75% Completed)

  • Full 30-Day Run with complete balance pass

  • 5 More Special Visitors

  • Daily Challenges

  • Advanced Artwork Tag Mechanics
