To bring the visual power of Beksinski to life, the game features a virtual 3-dimensional world inspired by the artist‘s paintings, in which players can wander around and explore different aspects of Beksinski‘s work. They traverse through different levels triggering events by reaching hotspots. This way players manipulate the game world and force elements in that level to move, appear or vanish until a portal to another setting opens.
