About game

At three o'clock in the morning, the alarm at the Nocturne Gallery sounded and immediately stopped. The paintings were still in their places, but their shadows had vanished — human silhouettes were cut out and scattered in a tangled pile on the restorer's table. Your task is to identify each figure in this mess and paint it in one colour, including the parts hidden under other shadows. Once a shadow is recognized, it will fly back into its frame. • 9 famous works: Holbein, Repin, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Seurat, David and others. • 4 halls with increasing difficulty — from three figures to a dozen intertwined silhouettes. • A soothing atmosphere of a night museum and soft music: each colour plays its own note. • Hints, magnification of the reference painting and board zoom. • Automatic saving of progress.

How to play

In the reference image, shadow fragments are represented as black holes. On the workbench, figures are jumbled and stacked haphazardly. Choose a color and paint every part of a single figure, including areas hidden under other figures. Use different colors for each figure. Once a figure is fully painted and its color doesn't appear elsewhere, the shadow will return to the painting. **Controls:** - **Computer:** left mouse button — paint, right button — erase or move the board, wheel — zoom. - **Phone:** tap — paint, two fingers — zoom and move the board, eraser is in the palette. **«Unpainted»** highlights unfilled areas, while **«Hint»** shows what parts of the selected-color figure are still missing.
