The Master's Pupil

The Master's Pupil is a puzzle adventure in which you travel across the iris of artist Claude Monet and help him complete his masterpieces. You solve puzzles by considering color, space and timing; a wrong color combination or move can end your journey.

Monet's life and eyesight

The game follows Monet through personal loss, including the death of his wife Camille, and the progressive cataracts that threatened his eyesight and artistic skill. As his condition worsens, you face increasingly difficult challenges while navigating intricate 3D locations and learning about his life.

Painting and puzzles

Almost every part of the game was made with a real paintbrush before being brought into its world. The visuals draw on Monet's work and reflect the developer's personality, while a soundscape was produced by indie composer Steven W Schouten. The puzzles give you time to think and test your reasoning rather than your reflexes.
