Buy Piecework: The Jigsaw Museum PC key

Piecework: The Jigsaw Museum is a jigsaw game about restoring a museum collection that has all come apart at once. You are hired to put the works back together, from van Eyck to Klimt. Each work is a jigsaw of hundreds of pieces, and misplaced pieces remain in place until you move them.

Museum duties

The entire collection is on the floor at once, and every piece can be found, though some have ended up in places the cleaning staff stopped checking years ago. There is no deadline, and mistakes do not get you dismissed. The game keeps a best time for anyone who wants to aim for one.

Choose a shift

Before the doors open, you choose between two shifts, and the museum holds you to that choice. As the Curator, you rise through the ranks by placing pieces and spend promotion points on five abilities that gradually take on more of the work. The Night Watch has no abilities and is expected to manage without them.

The Director's permits

You never meet the Director, who communicates in writing. Permits come with conditions and are kept in locked safes around the museum; finding the hidden keys may grant you a few privileges.
