Step into a living gallery
CUCCCHI is not just a video game—it’s an interactive archive of Enzo Cucchi’s artwork. As the first artist archive in game form, this simulation game invites players to explore surreal dioramas and winding labyrinths inspired by Cucchi’s imaginative and often eerie paintings, blending fine art with experimental game design.
A journey through artistic worlds
Each of CUCCCHI’s 10 levels is a visual experience, using a range of 3D techniques to bring Cucchi’s art to life. Players collect hidden objects—78 in total—that unlock real paintings in the archive gallery. The aesthetics are mesmerizing, with an ambient electronic soundtrack that perfectly complements the dreamlike environments.
Gameplay mixes relaxed exploration with maze-like tension. Players navigate surreal environments while avoiding obstacles and collecting art pieces. While beautiful, the abstract visuals and lack of traditional direction can frustrate those expecting clear objectives or fast-paced gameplay. This game is more about immersion than action, prioritizing atmosphere over mechanics.
Art meets interactivity
CUCCCHI is a bold, genre-defying title that successfully bridges the worlds of contemporary art and indie gaming. It’s an evocative, meditative experience perfect for those who appreciate visual storytelling and abstract exploration. As a digital archive, it’s as much a museum as it is a game.
