Thomas Waterzooi, developer of cosy painting-based puzzler Please, Touch the Artwork, has announced a sequel is in the works.

Known as Please, Touch the Artwork 2, this upcoming release will continue its predecessor's "tradition of immersing players in the captivating realm of a renowned modern artist" as they help a skeleton painter "find his way back home".

Where the first game featured art by Piet Mondrian, the artist Waterzooi has focused on for this next release is James Ensor. Players will be able to look for hidden objects within Ensor's works when the game releases "early" next year. We will update you with an exact date when we know more.

Our Donlan was quite enamoured with the first Please, Touch the Artwork when it released last year, giving it high praise in Eurogamer's review.

"This game plays with paintings, but it also gave an entire painter back to me," he wrote. "It rescued him from the list of artists who make me feel a bit dim.

"And I'm very grateful."
