🎨 PLEASE, WATCH THE ARTWORK
An Unsettling Evolution in Surreal Game-Poetry
Now Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025 | Day of the Devs
The next chapter in the hauntingly beautiful Please, Touch The Artwork series has arrived — but this time, the command isn’t to touch.
It’s to watch.
And not just glance.
Not just look.
Watch.
As if your eyes alone could hold back the silence.
From the mind of visionary artist and game designer Thomas Waterzooi, Please, Watch The Artwork — the long-anticipated third installment — has officially unveiled its eerie soul at the Summer Game Fest 2025, during the Day of the Devs showcase.
Where the past two games invited you to touch the art — to feel its texture, its pulse, its hidden life — this new masterpiece forbids interaction entirely.
Instead, it asks:
Can you survive being watched by a painting?
🕯️ THE MUSEUM THAT DOESN’T SLEEP
You are the nightwatchman.
No weapons. No tools. Only your eyes, your ears, and the slow, creeping realization that something is not right.
Welcome to the MaMA (Museum of Animated Modern Art) — a liminal sanctuary of Edward Hopper’s ghosts, reanimated in digital breath.
Each gallery is a painting.
Each painting is a memory.
And every memory… is watching back.
- A lone diner booth warms as a coffee cup steams without a hand to pour.
- A bedroom mirror reflects a version of you… standing behind you.
- Rain-slicked streets ripple with reflections that walk backward.
- A train platform echoes — but no train ever comes.
These are not animations.
They are perceptions.
🔇 NO MUSIC. ONLY THE SILENCE THAT SPEAKS
There is no score.
No jump scares.
No dialogue.
Only sound as a language of absence:
- The low hum of a dying light.
- The tick of a clock that runs in reverse.
- The faint click of a door latch… from inside a locked room.
- The rustle of air in a hallway where no one has walked.
And then…
The silence between breaths.
This is not horror through noise.
It’s horror through stillness — through the unbearable weight of being seen, even when you’re not sure what’s doing the seeing.
🖼️ 40 MASTERPIECES. 6 GALLERIES. 1 UNHINGED REALITY.
Please, Watch The Artwork features six emotionally charged galleries, each a thematic meditation on isolation, memory, and the uncanny:
- Empty Diners – where the light flickers in time with your heartbeat.
- Nocturnal Bedrooms – with mirrors that reflect a face not your own.
- Rain-Slicked Streets – where reflections move a second too late.
- Abandoned Train Platforms – echoing with a train that never arrives.
- Empty Apartments – where a window opens… on its own.
- The Gallery of Unwatched Faces – a final, silent room. One painting. No exit.
Every frame is a hand-crafted animation, blending digital brushwork with psychological precision. Not every movement is random.
Some are waiting.
Some are counting.
Some are recognizing you.
🎧 THE VOICE THAT WHISPERS THE TRUTH
The game’s release was announced not with a trailer — but with a whisper.
A single, ASMR-voiced teaser, delivered in a dreamlike hush:
“The art is not moving… but you are.”
That line — faint, intimate, almost too close to the ear — has since gone viral across gaming and art communities. It’s not just audio.
It’s atmosphere made manifest.
And it’s not a promise.
It’s a warning.
📱 RELEASE | PLATFORMS & DATE
Please, Watch The Artwork will launch October 2025 —
on iOS, Android, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
A tentative release date has been confirmed, but the true moment of release?
It’s not when you download.
It’s when you first see the flicker in the diner’s window… and realize you’ve been watching it back.
🎭 A DUAL PATH FOR THE SERIES
This is not a replacement for Please, Touch The Artwork 3, currently in development.
No — this is a parallel evolution.
- Please, Watch The Artwork explores passive observation, where the player becomes a witness to a world that watches them.
- Please, Touch The Artwork 3 will return to tactile interactivity, where touch becomes revelation.
Together, they form a philosophical duology:
To see is to be seen.
To touch is to be known.
And one day — perhaps in a final, transcendent installment — the line between watching and touching will vanish.
🌑 FINAL THOUGHT
In a world built on taps, clicks, and instant gratification,
Please, Watch The Artwork dares you to stop.
To breathe.
To wait.
To become not the observer…
But the observed.
Because in the end,
The art doesn’t want to be touched.
It wants to be remembered.
👉 Stay in the silence.

🎧 Listen to the ASMR teaser — it’s not just sound. It’s a spell.
And while you’re there…
Don’t forget to check the mirror.
🔔 This is not a game.
It’s an invitation.
To watch.
To feel.
To be seen.
