Best of all, it’s totally, absolutely FREE. Playable on iOS, Android or PC, whichever you prefer.
In Please, Touch the Artwork 2 you explore five worlds set inside classic paintings as an animated skeleton interacting with the quirky inhabitants. By finding hidden objects and using them to solve puzzles you’ll progress through the game world, helping to teach players to appreciate art through interaction and experience.
Please, Touch the Artwork is not just devoted to fine art in general, but specifically to the world of famous Flemish artist James Ensor who was considered a pioneer of modern art. Sponsored by the Flemish government – Fleming is an area situated in Belgium – the game helps you to experience the world of Ensor’s art just in time for the 75th anniversary of his passing.
