Lost in Art

Lost in Art is a narrative psychological puzzle adventure set in a surreal version of The New Art Gallery Walsall. After sneaking into a closed exhibition to see a supposedly cursed artwork, Leah becomes trapped inside. The visitors have disappeared, the lights no longer work, and beyond the windows lies endless darkness.

Armed with a flashlight and her wits, Leah explores the gallery, collects items, follows clues and solves puzzles to uncover the mystery of the cursed artwork and the artist behind it. A hostile Entity made of living paint stalks the galleries. Leah cannot fight it, so she must hide, use stealth and cunning, and make use of a strange supernatural ability to survive.

Explore the gallery

The game features cinematic fixed camera angles and a graphic-novel 3D aesthetic. Its setting is a faithful recreation of The New Art Gallery Walsall, with works from the Garman Ryan Collection integrated into the puzzles and gameplay. Leah’s supernatural ability lets her experience real artworks from the collection in a new way.

Puzzles and danger

The puzzles and mechanics reward creative thinking. Optional riddle difficulty settings can radically change the puzzles and their solutions. You can also make threats more dangerous or disable them entirely to focus on the puzzles and narrative at your own pace.

Story and discoveries

Environmental storytelling and fully animated, voiced cutscenes reveal the mystery: who created the cursed artwork, and why are they interested in Leah? The game includes multiple endings, secrets and unlocks, along with an original soundtrack of atmospheric, doom-laced rock with threads of 80s nostalgia.
