Publisher Kodansha and developer Mana have announced CaTHaRSiS: The last of atelier, an immersive art adventure game coming to PC via Steam. It will launch in 2026.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
An immersive art adventure through the worlds of iconic masterpieces. Easy and intuitive to play.
As an empty vessel with neither memory nor sense of self, you wander through canvas worlds with the help of your companions—a wolf and an owl—reclaiming what you have lost along the way.
What will you feel on this journey? What thoughts will come to you? A quiet, moving experience awaits.
Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night, Cafe Terrace at Night, Sunflowers
A world of deep blue beneath a sky filled with shimmering stars.
Against it, brilliant sunflowers bloom in breathtaking contrast.
Drawn onward, you eventually find your way to a cafe terrace at night. There, beneath a solitary light, you may find “him” sitting quietly alone.
Claude Monet: Woman with a Parasol
A sunlit green meadow that seems to stretch on forever.
Run like the wind through the world Monet painted on canvas.
Feel the scent of the grass and the fresh breeze all around you as you lose yourself in this world of light.
Here, there is nothing but pure freedom.
Gustav Klimt: The Kiss
A space bathed entirely in dazzling gold.
Nameless emotions begin to fill the empty vessel.
Amid radiant geometric patterns and brilliant light, a traveler without a heart will trace the contours of the most elusive thing of all: “love.”
Step Inside the Masterpieces
This game invites you not simply to admire paintings from the outside, but to step inside and walk through them.
Enter the worlds of famous masterpieces. Feel the wind, touch the light, and follow the memories left behind.
Experience art from an entirely new perspective—in a way only a game can offer.
Ten beautiful worlds await, inspired by the works of Van Gogh, Monet, Klimt, and more.
Journey through all ten in about the length of a feature film.
There are no game overs or time limits. Wander at your own pace, and take as much time as you like to simply lose yourself in these beautiful worlds.
As you walk through paintings, feel the wind, and touch the light, what will begin to stir within your heart?
Step beyond the canvas.
A journey of the heart, yours alone.
