Buy A Painter's Tale: Curon, 1950 PC key

A Painter's Tale: Curon, 1950 is an adventure game about love, resistance and historical memory. You play as a painter visiting modern Curon Venosta, the village built after the original Curon was flooded in 1950 to make way for a dam on Lake Reschen. The project began during the Fascist era, pitting the interests of a large industrial group against the wellbeing of the villagers, who were forced to leave their homes and pastures despite their protests.

A mysterious woman drags the painter into the lake, and he wakes in the old village before the flooding, among the people who witnessed the events. The story combines historical facts with fiction rather than presenting itself as a documentary.

Explore old Curon

The old village is recreated using voxel techniques, based on the scale model held at the Alta Val Venosta Museum. As you progress through the story, you meet its inhabitants and relive the events that led to the flooding. The game also features actual oil paintings and charcoal drawings.

Shape the story

Multiple-choice dialogue lets you decide how to behave with the villagers. You also face challenges and play mini-games as the story unfolds. You can unlock and collect information sheets about Curon's history and the traditions of South Tyrol.
