Her City View

Dear Van Gogh, a new interactive experience within Sky, has been launched by thatgamecompany, the studio behind the legendary video games Journey, Flower and Sky: Children of the Light.

Players can step into a living, painterly rendition of Vincent van Gogh's world, tracing his most iconic paintings through 3D recreations rendered in the bold brushwork and vivid color.

About Dear Van Gogh

Step into a living canvas in Dear Van Gogh, where art, emotion and human connection intertwine. Embark on a journey to bring Van Gogh’s masterpieces into the light, traveling inside his paintings to witness his earliest uncertainties, his Paris awakening, and the fragile beauty of his final years.

At the heart of this experience are the letters between Van Gogh and his brother Theo. Through them, players discover: Vincent’s lifelong struggles, Theo’s steadfast belief, and a correspondence that became one of history’s most remarkable artistic records.

Guided by Theo’s wife, Johanna, players become quiet witnesses to a life shaped by Van Gogh’s own restless vision, learn how the birth of her son inspired Vincent into a new era of painting, along with her tireless work to promote Van Gogh’s paintings after his tragic death at age 37.

Art Comes to Life

Explore beautiful, playable environments made from Van Gogh's best known paintings, from sunlit fields in the Netherlands to the glowing night skies that only he could imagine. Each and every landscape is a work of art in motion, rendered in his bold, expressive brushstroke style and alive with the emotion he poured into every canvas.

Witness his Story Unfold
