A gentle, reflective point-and-click adventure through memory and loss, exploring a flooded village with a painter's unhurried gaze.

What players say

Players say A Painter's Tale is a short walking sim (about 2-3 hours) that teaches the real history of the flooded Italian town of Curon through a fictional story. Its voxel art style and gentle pacing are praised, but some find the characters hard to connect with and note choices have no impact on the ending.
