oil painting restoration as old tech is unexpected and lovely. three real commissions in gilded frames, and the line about old varnish yellowing like a photo left in the sun is great. only did the first tutorial

Really like the idea! might be a little evil but I really like how you can do different damage to the painting
A chill restoration experience with an interesting take on the theme. I liked the idea of using traditional techniques to bring old paintings back to life.
Simple but polished, and incredibly immersive. great game
This is one of the best ones I've played so far! It looks super clean and the mechanics look really well. The idea is also super unique. Very relaxing to play
Restoring classic paintings is a great idea and fits the theme really well! Stepping into the paintings and experiencing their stories firsthand helped me connect with the people in them. All three stories felt immersive and gave me a sense of the weight of history. My favorite moment was making a peace sign and seeing it actually stay in the painting!
The gameplay itself felt a bit dull and repetitive, though. I think adding more varied interactions with the paintings would make it even more enjoyable.
Holy Gallery Fake batman, this was a lot of fun for me. I think there is deffinetly an idea behind some cozy, relaxing restoration type of game.
It’s a very good idea to combine a visual novel with a job simulator (art restorer).
Such a fun take on the theme! I didn’t realize I could scratch the painting, though. I wish I had a paintbrush so I could try to touch up the damaged bits with my terrible art skills, hahaha!

Not only does it fits the theme very well, but it's also very instructive game. I also like sounds effects and vibe. But gameplay little bit boring and monotonously. But, if you add more tools for restoration it will be much better.
Cool Idea. The damage mechanic was a fun addition.
Cool take on the theme. Very easy to get in the zone while doing the restoration. It was a little tough to tell what to do exactly with the cotton swab. I feel like when it tried to "roll" it as instructed by the tutorial it did more damage than just swiping it across.
