What it is about
Enter the Tower of Art Somewhere adrift in the Aether is an endless spiralling Tower - and inside it your Traveller awakens. They do not yet recall how they were stranded here, but they do know One Thing. There is a Door out of the Tower - and they need to find it. Inspired by Peach Garden Games's Carta system, and by the constantly shifting buildings from Susanna Clarke's Piranesi and the game Control. Tower of Art is a solo journalling game about a traveller journeying through a surrealist building made from humanity's collective dreams about art and creation. Draw cards to flesh out the Tower as the Traveller searches its infinite rooms for the Clues needed to escape, dealing with eerily familiar landscapes, inkfloods, living colours and much more along the way. (Note: Physical editions of the game will be available soon via the Twelve Pins Press website)
