Life Gallery is a unique puzzle game constructed from a series of 50+ hand-drawn illustrations. Players must manipulate objects within these scenes to solve riddles and unravel a chilling story involving twins, a fish-head cult, and horrifying tragedies. The game features a distinct pen-and-ink art style and transforms classical artworks into surreal, interactive nightmares.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Life Gallery is an unsettling, beautiful, and deeply memorable puzzle game that feels like playing through a dark fever dream. Instead of traditional levels, the game is told through a series of illustrations that you must interact with. The art style is striking—a detailed pen-and-ink look that is both elegant and grotesque. It tells the story of a fractured family and a mysterious fish-head cult, slowly unraveling a disturbing narrative through silent imagery.
The puzzles themselves are clever and highly creative. They often involve manipulating objects within a painting to reveal a hidden truth or to progress to the next 'room' of the gallery. Some of the most memorable moments involve nightmarish reinterpretations of classical art, like the Mona Lisa. It’s not a jump-scare horror game; rather, it builds a pervasive sense of dread and curiosity. For fans of Rusty Lake or atmospheric indie titles, Life Gallery is an absolute must-play.

High in ick factor
Mon Mar 14 2022 Idontwant12345678I think the puzzles were clever, some even new. I see similarities between this and Rusty Lake series. However there was a consistent ick factor here instead of just occasionally like Rusty Lake. If you liked that part, you’ll love this. I’m sure I’m the only one who had this issue, the icon itself is a bit jarring. I deleted the game when I had some young visitors. Let their parents deal with those questions. ;) I’m okay with ick but can you keep from the menu for others to see?
Bizarre, but good
Mon Apr 27 2020 Lou in LouisvilleWhat an odd game. I like odd games and the artwork and puzzles kind of reminded me of Rusty Lake. But this was no Rusty Lake game. This was a weird story, rather sad, but captivating for some strange reason. The puzzles ranged from extremely easy to almost impossible, with no instruction on how to “solve” the puzzles. I almost gave up on the “fish in the blender” one because I couldn’t figure out the order. But I kept at it for about half an hour and finally got it. I just finished the game and for the first time ever, I’m kind of glad I finished. I was hoping the story didn’t continue... weird I know. But definitely worth playing and giving it a try. It’s not for everyone, that’s for sure. But I liked it. For being the first game from these developers, NICE JOB 👍🏼!
Interesting story but too easy
Wed Feb 17 2021 OG Trash PandaI loved the story that went along with the game but it was really easy, I completed it within only a couple of hours. It was quite fun I just wish it could last longer.
Conceptually brilliant....
Thu Apr 09 2020 Quimby315However, execution is another issue. Puzzles were as expected, easy...gradually migrating to more difficult. But that soon went to virtually impossible. Stylistically the artwork is bizarre, but I like developers willing to break comfort zones, and stand out. I just wish there were at least an attempt at guidance, or even a minuscule hint. Oh well... Maybe I’ll try it again down the road. Deleted for now. UPDATE: I decided to give this another try. I got further along, but ran into an almost impossible puzzle. Minus one star (now 2) for ridiculously hard game play. Frustration should not be a part of having fun. Deleted forever. Bye.
Loved it!!!
Fri May 15 2020 Jamcat1190This is probably the weirdest game I’ve ever played...and I loved every minute of it! Very morbid and grotesque lol. It’s basically a series of puzzles that you have to figure out how to solve. Just the right amount of difficulty - makes you think, but not frustratingly hard. I hope this game gets the publicity it deserves on the App Store - I highly recommend trying it!!!
Hands down creator
Fri Apr 26 2024 Sxtex.gsxgvdrAmazing gameplay, betufil art, fun concept and story. The only thing I would have has a complaint is being able to change the games volume since I listen to music when I play. 10/10
Quirky and Odd…just the way I love em!
