How it feels

A slow, introspective puzzle-platformer where you guide Claude Monet through an abstract world, blending gentle exploration with thoughtful challenges.

What players say

Players praise the hand-painted visuals that recreate Monet's work, but split on the puzzle design. Some find the color mixing and physics puzzles fun, while others call them overly complicated and a slog. The game is short, around 4 to 5 hours, with some glitches forcing level restarts.
