Art House

Art House is a narrative game about Lisa, who returns with her children, Ollie and Zoe, to her late mother Betty’s mountain home. There, they become trapped inside Betty’s paintings, where her memories come to life. You guide Lisa through the paintings, solve puzzles and face shadows from her family’s past as she moves through grief toward healing.

The paintings

The game’s 2D environments are hand-drawn and inspired by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. You move between foreground and background by switching layers through rips in the paintings. A magical paintbrush lets you restore broken objects, move platforms and repaint the world.

Puzzles and enemies

Environmental puzzles combine platforming, manipulating objects and avoiding enemies strategically. The enemies have different behaviors: some patrol, some lurk, and others chase you through the rips.

Story and voice acting

The fully voice-acted story unfolds through memories and evolving paintings.
