When curiosity about art turns unsettling

Ib:A large blue painting and a description containing question marks
A large blue painting and a description containing question marks1 / 6

What might this artwork conceal? Examining paintings and sculptures ties the curiosity of visiting a gallery to growing unease. Looking for meaning in the exhibits, rather than passing them as scenery, becomes part of the adventure.

What makes it fun

  1. The exhibits become unsettling

    As you inspect paintings and sculptures to solve puzzles, the exhibits themselves become a source of fear. Their names and appearances make you wonder what might happen next.

  2. Talk to Garry as you explore

    Once Garry joins you, you can talk to him along the way. Hearing what he has to say as you move through the gallery makes the time spent together engaging.

  3. See your discoveries on display

    After clearing the game, you can collect and view the artworks you found in an unlocked exhibit. It gives you a reason to explore the gallery again for pieces you have yet to see.

A typical run

A reviewer was drawn in by the detail that young Ib cannot read every word in artwork titles. Viewing the gallery through a child’s understanding made the act of looking feel personal.
