Hey Touchers-of-art!

I am overwhelmed with the positive reactions this game has received since its release earlier this year. We've reached more than 4000 reviews and a 99% positive to negative ratio making it one of the top 10 best rated games on Steam in 2024! !!! THIS IS INSANE !!!

First of all: there will be a sequel!

Here's how you can help to make this happen:

Many people have written they would have paid for this game (or would still like to pay for it) and so I thought about a way for them to do this without compromising the free nature of the original product (which will always stay 100% free!).

DLC's

Ive introduced 3 DLCs that are PURELY COSMETIC. This means they wont influence the gameplay and only add visual changes to the game. They are meant to support me in making more games like these (more about that later!) However, I did want to give you something in return to there are 3 features you can unlock:

• Your name will be mentioned in the credits of the game as seen on the screenshot.
• Your Steam Avatar is a painting somewhere in the game. It's still a hidden object game, so it's up to you to find it!
• Your Steam Friends are shown as paintings somewhere in the game. It's still a hidden object game, so it's up to you to find them!

The large donation (Donation L) unlocks all 3 features. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3351000/Please_Touch_The_Artwork_2__Donation_L/ The medium donation (Donation M) the first 2 features. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3350990/Please_Touch_The_Artwork_2__Donation_M/ The small donation (Donation S) unlocks only the first feature. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3350980/Please_Touch_The_Artwork_2__Donation_S/ Thank you for your support. Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

Dear artventurers! Join us as solo-dev Thomas Waterzooi talks about the making of Please, Touch The Artwork 2, a hidden object adventure set in the surreal world of Belgian painter James Ensor. Why does he make games about art and whats the roadmap ahead for future games? All while playing the soon to be released game (19th of February!) ! By the way ! The game will be 100% free in honour of the 75th Anniversary of Ensors death, so there is no reason not to wishlist ;) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2600140/Please_Touch_The_Artwork_2/ Check out the first instalment in the series here, which is a cozy puzzle game inspired by art-movement The Style. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1097100/Please_Touch_The_Artwork/ Get in touch via the Discord:
