Lost in Art

What better way to dodge double maths?

After sneaking into a closed exhibition to see a supposedly cursed artwork, Leah finds herself trapped inside a dark and otherworldly version of The New Art Gallery Walsall. The visitors are gone, the lights won’t work, and outside the windows is nothing but endless darkness.

Armed with only a flashlight and her wits, Leah must explore the building, collect items, follow clues, and solve increasingly inventive puzzles to uncover the mystery behind the cursed artwork and the artist responsible. But she’s not alone - something is stalking the galleries: a hostile presence made of living paint. There’s no fighting it; Leah will need to hide, keep her nerve, and make use of a strange new ability if she’s going to make it out of this nightmare in one piece.

Inspired by classic survival horror and featuring a distinct, graphic-novel 3D aesthetic, Lost in Art is a narrative psychological puzzle adventure set inside a real-world location turned surreal.

Art is meant to be observed — but can you be sure it isn’t looking back?
