I Eat Paintings When Guards Aren't Looking

Cute little hidden object game that really makes you question what you're looking for...and eating. Also there's cats and they meow when you click them. 10/10

Interesting take on a hidden item game.

This game has a good concept and a good vibe but I sadly cant recommend it. -The artwork is either excising paintings (which is fine, that's the joke) mixed with some funny moments of custom works/ edits outside the paintings and nice UI to match, however some art feels really rushed and unloved, take the stomach, its poorly pixelated and just feels like a concept rather than a match to the rest to the game -The game is insanely short for what it is, Its a searching game with excising art, I don't see how this game has this price tag with basically limited to no custom artwork. It feels a bit cash grabby to me. -Like mentioned above, the price is a bit much especially for the provided content. As much as I liked the concept, this game just is not polished. For a game relying almost only on visuals, it felt a bit inconsistent. If you can get the game on sale for a euro or two, maybe it would be worth the money. -The music is fine and fitting, no complaints about the sound effects, they are goofy and fitting. -The story and such is mostly shown in trailers but in the actual game it feels a bit limited, only shared trough boring dialogue. The way the trailers are made, made everything look so much alive and funny. The game itself is just some text boxes with a voice over, this was a big letdown for me. I genuinely laughed and enjoyed my time more watching the trailers than playing the actual game. -The achievements are fine, maybe I missed it but it would be nice if there was a comment about the cats being a thing and markers next to the levels if you found them all. -Hints can be spammed, which can be fine I guess but I personally feel like hints should be a reward that you get to use after already finding something or over time. It encourages people to engage more with the content, rather than just spamming but I guess to each their own. -Overall searching clues are fine. TLDR: inconsistent art work (feels rushed), Too little content, trailers are better than the actual game, decent sound/music.

A perfect mixture of Renaissance paintings, cats, and silly descriptions.

I Eat Paintings When Guards Aren’t Looking is exactly what it promises. A delectable little HOG where you find cats, eat snacks, and forgo conversations on conservation ethics. The puzzles are clever, (you’ll need the hints), and the cravings are surreal, though better than drywall. It’s a point-and-click buffet of choice masterpieces and extremely poor impulse control. The cats are the real stars, reminding us all once again that they’ve been there since the beginning, lounging in the margins of myth and museum, watching humanity misinterpret art for sport. “Is it a flower or symbolic?” “Pretty sure that thimble represents a kiss…” Every click feels like an aesthetic crime. You’re not solving what is, you’re devouring essence. The game brushes past restraint, palettes your curiosity, and frames your gluttonous sin. Sometimes you just have to eat your feelings and call it performance. Au revoir, $%#&!
