About this game

Three hearts, one infinite canvas, together we illuminate a starry night.

Dear Van Gogh is an interactive journey through the life, art, and inner world of Vincent van Gogh. Travel inside his paintings to witness his earliest uncertainties, his Paris awakening, and the fragile beauty of his final years. Discover and feel the weight of a life lived, and the invisible hands that held it together.

From the award-winning creators of Journey, join a global community and play through an unforgettable experience of empathy, connection, and art.

A Story Most People Have Never Heard
Everyone knows the legend of Van Gogh. Few know the full story.

At the heart of Van Gogh’s life was a decades-long exchange of letters with his brother, Theo, filled with doubt, wonder, and unfailing devotion that made Van Gogh’s art possible in the first place. Now you can discover that bond firsthand. Guided by Johanna, Theo’s wife and the quiet force who carried Vincent’s legacy forward, you will piece together the story behind the paintings and discover that what we call genius was also, and always, an act of love.

Dear Van Gogh is their story, as much as his.

Art You Can Walk Through
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.

Paint the World with Others
Just as Van Gogh was never truly alone in his creative journey, neither are you. Use Sky’s signature brushstroke mechanic to collaborate with other players, bringing color and light back to the world together. Because some things are simply more beautiful when shared.

Return to the Real World, Evolved
At the end of the experience, pause and look back at what you experienced. You’re welcome to reflect on and share what you observed and what moved you. Dear Van Gogh in Sky is more than just a game, it is an invitation to see one of history’s greatest artists in a new light, and question everything you thought you knew about the story behind the art.

Update, it's been 3 years. I still absolutely adore this game. I love the controls, the graphics, the storyline, the community, the music, and even the grind. Controls are intuitive. Graphics are stunning, sometimes so stunning my phone overheats. Storyline for main game and Seasons are beautiful and world-building. The community is the most welcoming ever. My only issue: PLEASE LOWER THE COST OF HEART ITEMS THERE'S NO WAY. 90 for 1 cape? And we can't buy them? Honestly, worst part. Still 5*!

I've returned to this game briefly, and still barely anything has changed. Many cosmetics are locked behind pay walls, and those that you can purchase with in game currency are ridiculously expensive. You have to spend hours upon hours grinding to get enough in game currency. it is still a lovely game, with many good memories and the community there is absolutely lovely. however, the bugs are unbearable and there's no rest in between events where you can save up candles, leaving you burnt out.

This game is beautiful, like absolutely stunning, and I've been playing on and off since 2020. While I'm sure other people enjoy really big seasons, I was more a fan of the simpler, less involved seasons. New content will make you tediously go back and forth, back and forth between realms instead of sticking to the seasonal area. And 90% of cutscenes are unskippable, even if you have already seen it. My real issue with the game are the controls. I'm constantly fighting the game whenever I play
