‘Lost in Art’ is a supernatural puzzle adventure game developed in collaboration with Walsall-based game developer Daniel Turner, The New Art Gallery Walsall and The Space. The game is set within a reimagined version of the gallery, combining elements of exploration, storytelling and puzzle-solving.
Inspired by classic survival horror games, ‘Lost in Art’ presents a narrative-driven experience using a stylised, graphic novel-inspired 3D design, where real-world spaces and artworks are incorporated into gameplay.
The game follows Leah, who enters the gallery after hours to view a reportedly cursed artwork, before becoming trapped inside a distorted version of the building. As she navigates the space, she must explore the galleries, solve puzzles and uncover the story behind the artwork in order to escape.

About the game
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?
“ Lost in Art offers an engaging new way for people to experience the gallery and its collections. By bringing together digital technology and visual art, the project allows audiences to explore the building and its artworks from a different perspective.
We are pleased to support a collaboration that also highlights local creative talent. We hope it will encourage new audiences to take an interest in art and discover more about the gallery’s collections. “
