June 15 2023 - Australian developer Pat Naoum is excited to announce the launch date for The Master's Pupil, the hand-painted puzzle adventure that follows the life of Claude Monet through a rich variety of engaging visuals and dynamic soundscapes.

Releasing on 28 July 2023 via Steam for Windows and Mac, and Nintendo Switch.

Players must traverse the intricate world of Claude Monet’s eye to help him complete many of his masterpieces.

As you explore a spectacular hand-painted landscape, you will come across puzzles involving colour, physics, and space that you must solve to progress. And just as Claude Monet encountered many trials and tribulations throughout his life, the game also grows more challenging and complex with each level - culminating in a battle to save the eyes of the master artist himself!

The Master’s Pupil puts the art front and center, using a perfect mix of sound, gameplay, and visuals - rather than words - to subtly communicate the emotions and story of Claude Monet. As they progress through the game and best its challenges, players will be continuously rewarded with stunning backgrounds, captivating music, and Monet’s own work fusing to create an unforgettable gaming experience that explores the uniqueness of the master's life.

Speaking about this incredible milestone, Pat Naoum - the sole developer of the game - said “I'm nervous and exhilarated to be so close to launch. Still pouring as much polish into the game as possible, but I'm excited for everyone to play it!“

About The Master's Pupil

The Master's Pupil is a hand-painted puzzle game set inside Claude Monet’s eyeball. As they travel through the artist's eye, players will get to know more about the impressionist's life, rediscover some of his most famous paintings and fight to help him complete his greatest masterpieces.

Developed by solo-dev Pat Naoum, The Master's Pupil has already seen recognition when it was awarded funding by Screen Australia. Featuring over 80 puzzles involving physics, color mixing, and timing and a completely word-less soundscape, the game promises to be a genuinely unique interactive experience.

Hand Painted and expertly crafted - almost every part of this game has been painstakingly made using a real paintbrush in real life before being imported to the world. The results are unique visuals reminiscent of Monet’s work and imbued with the personality of the developer.

Biographical Adventure - you will experience the life of Claude Monet in a way that has never been done before. Navigate intricate 3D locations, learn more about the painter’s life, and dive through a rich soundscape produced by indie composer Steven W Schouten.

Calm and Relaxed - An artist doesn’t rush but takes their time when completing their work. The Master’s Pupil gives you time to consider each puzzle, with tests that will challenge your brain but not your reflexes.
